Facebook is a social network service and website launched in February 2004. Facebook has more than 500 million active users. Users may create a personal profile, add other users as friends and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Face book allows anyone who declares themselves to be at least 13 years old to become a registered user of the website. Face book was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over.
Mark Zuckerberg wrote Face mash, the predecessor to Face book, on October 28, 2003, while attending Harvard as a sophomore. The site represented a Harvard University
Jst watch it
He didn't have much choice but to sell. It was summer 2006, a little more than two years after Mark Zuckerberg had created Face book in his Harvard dorm room as a way for him and his friends to better connect with schoolmates. In the intervening years, he'd raised $37.7 million from venture capitalists and transformed his modest Web site into a certified social phenomenon. College kids across the nation clamoured for access, which Zuckerberg doled out, school by school. By mid-2006, about 7 million users, most of them college students, had a Face book account.
The origins of Face book have been in dispute since the very week a 19-year-old Mark Zuckerberg launched the site as a Harvard sophomore on February 4, 2004.
Then called "thefacebook.com," the site was an instant hit. Now, six years later, the site has become one of the biggest web sites in the world, visited by 400 million people a month.
The controversy surrounding Face book began quickly. A week after he launched the site in 2004, Mark was accused by three Harvard seniors of having stolen the idea from them.
This allegation soon bloomed into a full-fledged lawsuit, as a competing company founded by the Harvard seniors sued Mark and Face book for theft and fraud, starting a legal odyssey that continues to this day.
