Facebook First Year
In February 2004 Mr Zuckerberg introduced "The facebook", as it was originally recognized; the name drawn from the sheets of paper distributed to freshmen, profiling trainees and also team. Within 24 hours, 1,200 Harvard students had signed up, and after one month, over half of the undergraduate populace had a profile.
The network was without delay extended to various other Boston colleges, the Ivy Organization and also ultimately all United States universities. It ended up being Facebook.com in August 2005 after the address was purchased for $200,000. US high schools could register from September 2005, then it began to spread worldwide, reaching UK universities the list below month.
Since September 2006, the network was prolonged beyond educational institutions to anyone with a signed up email address. The website remains free to join, and makes a profit through advertising and marketing income. Yahoo as well as Google are among firms which have actually revealed interest in a buy-out, with rumoured figures of around $2bn (₤ 975m) being gone over. Mr Zuckerberg has until now refused to offer.

The MP David Miliband, the radio DJ Jo Whiley, the actor Orlando Flower, the musician Tracey Emin as well as the owner of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, are among validated top-level members.
This month authorities outlawed a flash-mob-style water battle in Hyde Park, organised through Facebook, as a result of public safety concerns. And also there was further debate at Oxford as students realised that university authorities were checking their Facebook accounts.
The legal situation against Facebook go back to September 2004, when Divya Narendra, and the bros Cameron and also Tyler Winklevoss, that started the social-networking website ConnectU, accused Mr Zuckerberg of duplicating their ideas and coding.
