Facebook tops 1 billion users

NEW YORK - Facebook has topped 1 billion users, but the past few months have not

been easy.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg says that the company is going through a bit of a rough patch

following its rocky initial public offering.

Zuckerberg updated his Facebook status on Thursday to announce that the social

networking site has more than 1 billion active users each month. He thanked users and

said that he is committed to making Facebook better.

The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company has had a difficult time of late. There were trading

glitches the day it went public in May and concerns since then about its revenue

potential. It's also facing lawsuits from disgruntled shareholders.

Music-streamer Rdio to pay artists for subscribersMusic-streaming service Rdio is going to pay artists such as Snoop Lion to refer their fans. When fans subscribe to the service, the artist gets $10.

12:03AM EST October 2. 2012 - Musicians looking for a new revenue stream

can now get commissions from music service Rdio.

Under a new artists program, the 2-year-old streaming service will pay

musicians $10 for each subscriber they bring to the service. Among the artists

already on board are Snoop Lion (the artist formerly known as Snoop Dogg)

and members of alternative rock bands The Raconteurs and Scissor Sisters.

Musicians can share tracks and playlists on Facebook and Twitter, and that

could lead some followers to subscribe to the service ($5 a month unlimited

Web streaming; $10 a month for mobile, too.) "Fans can discover new music by

seeing what their favorite artists are doing on Rdio," company CEO Drew

Larner says. "It's sort of like Twitter meets music."
