Social networking company Facebook's profit has doubled reaching 791 million dollars while its total revenue rose from 1.8 billion dollars to 2.9 billion dollars in the second quarter of 2014.

Facebook's more than a billion users reportedly use mobile devices to go online that amounts to 62 percent of the company's overall advertising tallies in the second quarter.

Facebook's sales from mobile devices are increasing at a rapid pace.

Almost 1.1 billion users accessed the site at least once using a mobile device.
