Happy 6th Birthday Facebook!

Thursday, February 04, 2010

February 4, 2004, Facebook was born. 

Today it is the largest social networking site in the world, acquiring new users daily. Founded by Mark Zuckerberg, and his college roomies Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. It was originally intended to be a network for Harvard students, and was formerly known as theFacebook. However in the course of six years, and some fine tuning, Facebook is bigger and better than ever.

Today Facebook has opened its doors to everyone from relatives and high schoolers, to Businesses and Mom and Dad. It gives you a wide array of things to do, from games like MafiaWars to Jetman, or creating groups about practically anything. Heck you can even throw a sheep at someone to get their attention by using the Superpoke application. Facebook’s popularity has increased since its adoption, and has given people around the world the ability to stay in touch with loved ones everywhere. 

Six years strong and counting. It’s amazing how a simple idea can become a phenomenon with a little entrepreneurship and some hard work. So for everyone, I invite you to say happy birthday to Facebook, if you haven’t already. 

Maybe post it on your live feed!?
