Twitter’s Fabric now serves 2B active devices

It's against HN's rules to solicit upvotes. Accounts that participate in voting rings get penalized, and so (obviously) do the stories they're promoting. HN users tend to notice these things, even if our software doesn't, which it frequently does.

If you're worried that your account has been penalized, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com to find out.

Disclaimer: engineer at Fabric; I don't have access to detailed numbers or processes used to derive these kinds of announcements.

This is a great milestone regardless, I'm just trying to put it into perspective. This website has a graph of total smartphone users, putting that number at 2.08 billion forecast for 2016: http://www.statista.com/statistics/330695/number-of-smartpho... although that doesn't necessarily mean how many devices are out there. Many people have multiple devices. Does anyone have a better resource to answer the question of how many devices there are being used in total?
