Facebook users are sharing 1B stories from Open Graph apps per day; Zuckerberg discusses options for future monetization

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said today that more than 1 billion stories are being shared from Open Graph apps per day.

Open Graph apps are those that share users’ actions, such as reading, watching, listening and other custom activities to Timeline, Ticker and News Feed. These were first introduced in September 2011, but only began to be widely developed and used as of January 2012, when the social network began approving third-party integrations. Facebook says more than 4,500 of these type of apps have launched.
