Facebook, the world’s biggest social networking site, is celebrating its fifth birthday with many guests invited. In
a blog post, the site’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, states that Facebook will continue to work as hard as it has in
the last five years in order to stay the web’s number one communication site.
The company started in a dorm room in 2004. Today it has 150 million active users, more than the 130 million of
rival MySpace. Facebook is different from other social networking sites because you can communicate with
people you really know and trust. Before, most people didn’t want to share their real identities online. Facebook
has given people a safe and trusted environment for people to interact online. It has changed the way people view
the world. A friend from any country is only a few clicks away.
It was back in February 2004 when Zuckerberg started “The Facebook” from a Harvard student’s room. The aim
was to help students get in touch with each other over the Internet. Within 24 hours over a thousand students
had signed up and soon after that the network spread out to other universities.
By 2005 a research study showed that about 85% of the students in the network had a Facebook account. Another
survey showed that Facebook was almost as important as an iPod. At the end of 2005 Facebook came to the U.K.
and up to today the site has been translated into 35 languages.
Five years after its start Facebook has escaped the universities and colleges. More than half of its users are not at
college anymore and the fastest growing group are the 30 to 40 year olds. Every day 15 million users update their
profiles to tell their friends and the world what’s happening to them. They also share photos, upload videos, chat,
make friends, join groups and simply have fun.
