                                 HERE YOU WILL KNOW..


I will tell you exactly how facebook is started and reached
 where it is now.
   
   IS INVENTION OF FACEBOOK WAS AN ACCIDENT??

IS THERE ANY ROLE OF HACKING IN START OF FACEBOOK??
  If you want to know the answers you are at right place

FACEMASH
    

.facemash was the  predecessor of facebook. 

. the website was invented by mark zuckerberg and three of his classmates
 ANDREW McCOLLUM,   DUSTIN MOSKOVITZ and CHRIS HUGHES.

. Zuckerberg wrote the software for the Facemash website when he was in his second year of college.

. The website allowed visitors to compare two student pictures side-by-side and let them choose who was “hot” and who was “not”.
so its clear that this website required some college students pictures to compare with each other 
and the number of votes will decide who is the winner for this zuckerberg needed some students pictures.

according to HARVARD CRIMSON
 Facemash "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, Mark Zuckerberg hacked the "facebooks" Harvard maintained to help students identify each other and used the images to populate his Facemash website.

so the website was shut down by Harvard executives a few days after it opened.         Mark Zuckerberg faced charges of violating copyrights, breach of security, and violating individual privacy for stealing the student pictures that he used to populate the website. He later faced expulsion from Harvard University for his actions. However, all the charges were eventually dropped.

.Zuckerberg expanded on this initial project that semester by creating a social study tool ahead of an art history final. He uploaded 500  images to a website, with one image per page along with a comment section.

And the very first time  he opened the site up to his classmates and people started sharing their                    notes.

.On October 25, 2010, entrepreneur and banker Rahul Jain auctioned off FaceMash.com to an unknown buyer for $30,201.





THEFACEBOOK.COM

In January 2004, Mark Zuckerberg began writing the code for a new website, known as  'thefacebook.com

" the technology needed to create a centralized website is available and the benefits are many"
                                                                                         ----- mark zuckerberg


.   On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "Thefacebook".

someone suggested putting it on the Kirkland House online mailing list. within just 24 hrs the
     website got more then 1500 registration.

.  just six days after the launch of the website three harvard university 
1. cameron winklevoss
2. tylor  winklevoss
3. divya narendra
alleged him using there idea to make a centralized website for harvard.
however the issue was later setteld.

Membership was initially restricted to students of Harvard University.


facebook

. In June 2005,
                      the company dropped "The" from its name after purchasing a domain name
                       facebook.com for  $200,000.
                      

On October 1, 2005,
                      facebook reached to 21 universities in united kingdom.
                      Facebook launched a high school version in September 2005.
                      Facebook later expanded membership eligibility to employees of several companies
                      including apple inc and microsoft.

On December 11, 2005,
                       many universities in australia and newzealand were added.

. on September 26, 2006
                      facebook was open for everyone over 13 with a valid email id.

        .     in 2007
                     facebook had 10000+ business page which attracted companies to use facebook
                     as a marketing and advertising mode.

       .  from then facebook is introducing so many things day by day to make it more user friendly
          and attractive.

       . one can signup to facebook simply by going to facebook.com and fill up the signup 
            form with some basic details and later can make a complete profile.


               FEATURES OF FACEBOOK
       .    facebook provides you all the security measures like you can hide your profile information        
             from anyone or make it to visible only to your friends.
       .     facebook also gives the facility of sms alerts one can register there mobile phone no
              so that he/she able to receive alerts of any notification of their facebook account.
       .     later facebook also introduced with a new feature of video chat called skype.
             and now the newest of them all is "following " feature means one can follow to any other 
             like twitter.
       .      another feature is one can reply to anyone's personal comments.
