Facebook is one of the fastest growing social networks on the Internet. Nowadays, millions of people use Facebook and they spend their time on Facebook.Do you know the history of Facebook? Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg who studied in Harward University on 4th of February in 2004. Six years later, the site became one of the biggest web sites in the world, visited by 400 million people a month.He was only 19 years old when he founded this social network.This wasn’t the first site of Zuckerberg because his first website was called ‘facemash’ ,and it had information and pictures about Harvard University’s students.However,facemash was closed by the university because he used the information and pictures without permission.After that, Zuckerberg took a break and started to work on his new project.He provided users with facilities such as adding their friends,uploading their photos, and communicating with their friends, and he named this website ‘thefacebook’. Facebook came from “paper facebook”. The universities in the USA have such a form that students and teachers fill to introduce themselves.
At first,only Harvard University’s students could use thefacebook, but after a short time it spreaded almost all high schools, universities and companies in Boston. After that,it spreaded quickly to other places, too. Finally,in 2006,facebook opened for all the people who have email addresses.
