Facebook’s latest ad campaign established that chairs are like Facebook. It’s not stopping there. Apparently, Halloween, surf rescue dogs, cake, and swimming pools are like Facebook, too. What else is like Facebook?

Facebook officially reached 1 billion monthly active users Sept. 14 at 12:45 p.m. PT, Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed in a post on the social network’s Newsroom, as well as in an interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer, and in a cover story for Bloomberg Businessweek.
