History of facebook
Mark Zuckerberg wrote Facemash, the predecessor to Facebook, on October 28, 2003, while attending Harvard as a sophomore. According to The Harvard Crimson, the site was comparable to Hot or Not, and "used photos compiled from the online facebooks of nine houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the 'hotter' person".
To accomplish this, Zuckerberg hacked into the protected areas of Harvard's computer network and copied the houses' private dormitory ID images. Harvard at that time did not have a student "facebook" (a directory with photos and basic information). Facemash attracted 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours online.
The site was quickly forwarded to several campus group list-servers, but was shut down a few days later by the Harvard administration. Zuckerberg was charged by the administration with breach of security, violating copyrights, and violating individual privacy, and faced expulsion. Ultimately, however, the charges were dropped.[Zuckerberg expanded on this initial project that semester by creating a social study tool ahead of an art history final, by uploading 500 Augustan images to a Web site, with one image per page along with a comment section.He opened the site up to his classmates, and people started sharing their notes.
The following semester, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new Web site in January 2004. He was inspired, he said, by an editorial in The Harvard Crimson about the Facemash incident. On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "Thefacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com.
Facebook was firstly introduce by Mark Zuckerberg by February 2004. At this time, myspace and tagged were more popular than facebook. Nowadays, facebook is the most popular than the other social network which is about million users use it. In addition, facebook can get many new friend when we use it. We also can search an old friend which is already separated between us. In facebook, we can share about our personal background, where are we study, our interest, our hobby and many more to all friends in facebook. We also can share about what are we doing right now, our mood right now and express our feeling to friends. We also can share our new photo to our friends. The largest age was using facebook around 17 to 25 years old. It is because the teenagers like to share their status whether they happy or not. They also can fill their leisure time with facebook so, their parents does not worried about their children because they will sit in home with facebook and do not go out when their parents go to work. In addition, the children below 12 years old also have their own facebook. It is because they see their brother and sister using facebook to fill their leisure time.
