INTRODUCTION

Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University.

It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and over. However, according to a May 2011 Consumer Reports survey, there are 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts and 5 million under 10, violating the site's terms of service

DEFINITIONFacebook…is a social networking service launched in February 2004, owned and operated by Facebook, Inc. As of June 2012, Facebook has over 955 million active users, more than half of them using Facebook on a mobile device.

Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile.

Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends".

HISTORY

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), though individual houses had been issuing their own paper facebooks since the mid-1980s.

Facemash attracted 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours online.

ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

LIKE to keep in contact with their

friends and family worldwide website that most

of the population seems to be using now a days.

Using the telephone can be pricing when it comes to long distance causing people to use the phones less and less.

Facebook took MySpace to a entire new level

Just like MySpace you can upload pictures, post status', comment on friends walls, message privately, listen to music, and play games.

DISLIKE That is one thing that

MySpace definitely had in its favor, the fact that you could change the layout, the color, the print, etc on your profile

You hear about people "stalking" or "lurking" other people's Facebooks all the time.

Then comes more downfalls, Facebook is like an open portal to peoples lives, and an easy way to start drama.

CONCLUSION

You may ask yourself everyday why you can not delete your Facebook or why you catch yourself always going on to Facebook with out even so much as a blink of an eye. The answer is simple really. We all know that pretty much everyone has a Facebook, and this is the easy form of contacting someone now a days.

Along with that you find yourself absolutely addicted to it. When you get bored you can play games listen to music or "lurk" your friends pictures and status'.

The question is how long will you go before it completely controls you? The answer is in our hands…
