Facebook+-+The+most+popular+social+network

Facebook. A social utility that connects people, helping you keep up with friends, upload photos, and share links and videos. Right after Google, Facebook is the 2nd most popular website and short after come Youtube and Twitter. This social networking site, launched in February 2004, has become famous in a period of three years (2007-2010), when it suddenly got millions of users. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, with the help of his college roommates Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students only, but it was then expanded to other colleges, and then to anyone with a university email. Following this pattern, Facebook continued to expand and expand, and finally in 2007 it was opened to public users. Mark Zuckerberg is also known for becoming the world's youngest billionaire as of 2008. Starting in 2008, Facebook began to go through some changes in the layout and some utilities were added. Changes continue so that this social network can become more and more practical and user friendly. Although Facebook is a social network of interest, it can also be very useful when keeping in touch with others. On my facebook account I have a private group with my school's classroom friends, where we can share any doubts about school and help each other. I use facebook also to keep myself contacted with my family and people who are far from here.
