Year Facebook Started
Facebook First Year: Mark Zuckerberg, 23, founded Facebook while examining psychology at Harvard University. A keen computer system programmer, Mr Zuckerberg had actually currently created a variety of social-networking web sites for fellow trainees, consisting of Coursematch, which enabled individuals to check out individuals taking their degree, and also Facemash, where you could rank people's good looks.
Facebook First Year
In February 2004 Mr Zuckerberg launched "The facebook", as it was initially recognized; the name taken from the sheets of paper distributed to freshmen, profiling students and personnel. Within 24-HOUR, 1,200 Harvard students had actually subscribed, as well as after one month, over half of the undergraduate population had a profile.
The network was immediately included various other Boston universities, the Ivy Organization and also eventually all US colleges. It ended up being Facebook.com in August 2005 after the address was purchased for $200,000. US high schools might join from September 2005, then it started to spread worldwide, reaching UK universities the following month.
As of September 2006, the network was prolonged beyond universities to anybody with a registered email address. The website continues to be free to sign up with, as well as makes a profit via advertising profits. Yahoo as well as Google are among firms which have actually expressed interest in a buy-out, with rumoured figures of around $2bn (₤ 975m) being gone over. Mr Zuckerberg has actually thus far refused to market.
The website's attributes have remained to establish during 2007. Individuals can currently offer presents to friends, post cost-free classified advertisements or even create their very own applications - graffiti as well as Scrabble are especially prominent.
This month the business introduced that the variety of signed up users had actually reached 30 million, making it the biggest social-networking website with an education emphasis.
Previously in the year there were rumours that Royal prince William had signed up, but it was later on disclosed to be a mere impostor. The MP David Miliband, the radio DJ Jo Whiley, the actor Orlando Bloom, the artist Tracey Emin and also the owner of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, are amongst confirmed top-level members.
This month authorities outlawed a flash-mob-style water fight in Hyde Park, organised through Facebook, due to public safety concerns. And there was better controversy at Oxford as trainees realised that college authorities were inspecting their Facebook profiles.
The legal case versus Facebook dates back to September 2004, when Divya Narendra, and the brothers Cameron and also Tyler Winklevoss, who founded the social-networking website ConnectU, accused Mr Zuckerberg of replicating their suggestions and also coding. Mr Zuckerberg had actually worked as a computer developer for them when they were all at Harvard before Facebook was produced.
The case was dismissed due to a technicality in March 2007 yet without a ruling.
