 An actual facebook is a student directory that is published by a school every year

 These facebooks were a very common thing among most colleges and prep

How it began and bumps
along the way
On October 28, 2003 Zuckerberg was blogging about a girl who had
dumped him when he got the idea to create Facemash.


 Facemash was a version of Harvard application. It compared two people
and the users voted on which one was “BEST”
 Zuckerberg hacked into Harvard’s computer network to obtain the
pictures of students from the different dorm’s online facebooks.
 The site was shut down a few days later by the Harvard administration
and Zuckerberg faced expulsion but the charges were dropped.
 Later that semester he expanded on his initial site by uploading images

for an art history final and allowing comments on the images so the
students could share their notes. The professor said it had the best grades
of any final he had ever given.
On February 4, 2004 he launched thefacebook.com
 Within 24 hours the site had between 12 and 15 hundred members.
 Membership was originally restricted to Harvard students but gradually
expanded to most colleges in the US and Canada.
 In 2004 the company incorporated and moved to Palo Alto, California.
Sean Parker, who had been advising Zuckerberg became the company’s
president.
The company bought the domain name facebook for $200,000 in 2005
dropping the “the” from the name.


 On September 26, 2006 Facebook opened to everyone over the age of 13
with a valid e-mail address.
Soon after facebook was first created, three Harvard seniors accused
Zuckerberg of stealing their idea for the site. Their site was going to be
called HarvardConnection.com.
 Zuckerberg had originally planned to help them with their site but he
already had facebook in the works when they wanted him to make
HarvardConnection.
 A few month after thefacebook.com was launched they launched their site
which they called ConnectU instead of HarvardConnection.
