I
will write today about someone that has changed the Internet world. As we can
see nowadays there are a lot of social networks all over the Internet world,
but I am going to talk about the one that everyone, old, young and teenagers
have an account on it .Facebook is a social network to make people know new
people from other world easily and share their interests and daily life. Facebook
launched in February 4, 2004 by guy name is Mark Elliot Zuckrberg. He is an American
computer programmer and Internet entrepreneur and he was born in May, 14 1984
born and grew up in New York. He is the CEO and the founder of Facebook and he
is best knows as one of four co-founders of the social networking.
However,
at the beginning it was just for fun to him to try a new software he created
Facemash just to see people`s reactions and he attracted 450 visitors and 22000
photos view in the first 4 hours online. The Facemashed published in Harvard University`s computers but was
shut down a few days later by the Harvard`s administration, because Mark hacked
into their computers and he upload his own Facemash but he didn't have the
permission to do that.
On
the other hand, he began writing codes for the Facebook January 2004 he launched
it from his dormitory room with help of friends, he took Facebook to other
campuses nationwide and as we can see now Facebook is one of the best social networks
all around the world. As in May 2012 Facebook has announced that Facebook has
over 900 Million active users more than half of them are using Facebook on
mobile device. Also has been announced that he is one of the 100 richest people
on the world.
On
the other hand, Facebook always has many changes in the website and adding many
new things to attract more people to it because there are many other
competitors around like Google+, MySpace, and others social networks websites.
In addition the changes they make are a lot and I will say some of them like
the new Time line that allows you to see what you have posted since you started
your account , also they allow you now to make a video call , subscribes and a
lot of other stuff .
After
a lot of paperwork and lots of thinking Facebook officially began trading at
$38 per share on Friday morning and that was the biggest IPO (Initial public
offering) ever an Internet company. At that price that Facebook raised $16
billion that what made Facebook become the Largest IPO in the Internet
history.
Mark Zuckerberg rang the opening bell remotely |
