Ancestor Establishment Facebook
Zuckerberg at Harvard is finding the idea of making a book online student directory because the university did not share face book (the book contains photographs of students and students at the university's identity) to the new students as a place of friendship between them. But each time he offered to create the directory, Harvard rejected. "They said they had no reason not to collect information (students)," said Zuckerberg later.
Although denied he was always looking for ways to make it happen. "I wanted to show that it could be done," he said about his stubborn refusal to make the directory. His first project was CourseMatch (www.coursematch.com) that allows classmates to communicate with each other on the website. One night in his second year at Harvard, Harvard students Zuckerberg sabotage of data and put it into a website that he created called FaceMash. Some photos fellow student lie there. Not to forget he put a sentence that asks visitors to determine which of these photos are the most "hot".
Inducement hit. Within four hours since he launched the webiste was carrying 450 people visited FaceMash and as many as 22,000 photos of them open. Harvard parties know it and the Internet connection was disconnected. Zuckerberg sued for stealing data. The curly haired young man apologized to colleagues whose pictures entered in FaceMash. But he did not regret his actions. "I think such information should be available (online)," he said
Rather than give up he instead create a new website with Facebook name (www.thefacebook.com). This website he launched in February 2004. Facebook is a refinement of FaceMash. The goal remains a meeting place for fellow Harvard students. In the explanation on its website now states that Facebook is a social tool to help people communicate more efficiently with colleagues, family, or coworkers.
Facebook offers easy navigation for users. Each account holder has space to display his picture, friends, network, and do other things like being able to send messages and so forth.
The number of applications that can be used by the members making up loved by many people. It is said that up to now more than 20,000 applications put in Facebook that could be used by its members. At least 140 new applications added to Facebook every day and 95% of owners have a Facebook account use at least one application.
Inclusion many of these applications makes Facebook different from previous social networking websites such as MySpace. Then people flocked to visit the website and sign up to be members. Within two weeks after its launch, half of Harvard students already have an account on Facebook. Apparently not only Harvard students who are interested, some campuses around Harvard also requested inclusion in the Facebook network.
It makes Zuckerberg overwhelmed. He then asked the help of two friends to participate in developing Facebook. Within four months Facebook has been able to encompass 30 campuses. By the end of 2004 the number of Facebook users has reached one million.
Facebook users continues to increase. In fact, there are a number of people who are no longer a student or are still in school wanted to join. This insistence height makes Zuckerberg and his friends decided to open up the network to secondary school students (here SMU) in September 2005. Shortly afterwards they also open up networking office workers. Overcrowding makes Zuckerberg must decide out of Harvard.
