Revenue jumped 61% to $2.91bn from $1.81bn with advertising revenue jumping 67%.

The world's largest internet social network said it now counted 1.32 billion monthly users with almost 63% of them accessing Facebook's service every day in the second quarter, up from 61% in the same period a year ago.
"We had a good second quarter," CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a statement.
