2. Mark Zuckerburg A random guy born on May 14, 1984 . Looking at him, one doesn’t notice anything special. Still, he is an American billionaire entrepreneur best known for co-founding the popular social networking site Facebook . Time Magazine added Zuckerberg as one of The World's Most Influential People of 2008. He fell under the Scientists & Thinkers category for his web phenomenon, Facebook, and ranked 52 out of 101 people .

3. Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard dorm room on February 4, 2004. Once at college, Zuckerberg's Facebook started off as just a "Harvard-thing", until Zuckerberg then decided to spread Facebook to other schools and enlisted the help of roommate Dustin Moskovitz . They first spread it to Stanford , Dartmouth , Columbia , Cornell and Yale , and then to other schools with social contacts with Harvard.By the beginning of the summer, Zuckerberg and Moskovitz had released Facebook at almost forty-five schools and hundreds of thousands of people were using it .

8. Failure of both: Yahoo and Google In late September, 2006 both Yahoo and Google started feeling threatened by Facebook’s up and offered $1billion and $2 billion,respectively to buy the company. Nevertheless the owner declined the offer and it was a wise decision as now the the company is worth $15 billion .
