The Social Network

Who doesn't know Facebook right? In fact because of the movie,everyone even knows about the story of facebook's inception.To recap: Facebook is a social networking site launched in February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and his roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum,Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.

Registered users can create profiles,upload photos and video,chat,send messages etc.It was originally created only for Harvard Students then gradually grew to include other colleges and finally today anyone over the age of 13.It is available in 37 language.The most popular feature is the wall which is like a virtual bulletin board.Since May 2007 facebook opened its developer's platform to let third party developers build applications and widgets.Once approved these could be distributed and publically used. Facebook offers a range of privacy settings to its users,but of course the site keeps getting a lot of flak from privacy advocates from time to time.A little known fact about the facebook homepage is that the before 2007 it contained Al pacino's face which was dubbed 'the Facebook Guy'.
