Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.
The website’s membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University.
It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and over. However, according to a May 2011 Consumer Reports survey, there are 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts and 5 million under 10, violating the site’s terms of service.
1. What is Facebook?
Facebook is the World’s Leading Social Network on Internet and It was launched on 2004, As of May 2012, Facebook has over 900 million active users, more than half of them using Facebook on a mobile device.
Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile.
Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as “People From Work” or “Close Friends”.
The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by some university administrations in the United States to help students get to know each other. Facebook allows any users who declare themselves to be at least 13 years old to become registered users of the site

You can like us on our official Facebook Fan Page, In Simple words Facebook customers can create “Like Pages” which allow fans of an individual, organization, product, service, or concept to join a Facebook fan club.
The Like Pages were introduced in November 2007. Like Pages look and behave much like a user’s personal private profile, with some significant differences. Public Profiles are integrated with Facebook’s advertising system, allowing Public Profile owners to easily advertise to Facebook’s users.
Owners can send updates to their fans, which shows up on their home page. They also have access to insights and analytics of their fan base.
Early on, users had the option to “become a fan” of the page until April 19, 2010 when the option was later changed to “like” the page. While an individual with a personal profile can acquire up to 5,000 friends, a “Like Page” can have an unlimited number of “Likers”.
“Like Pages” can also be customized by adding new Tabs using the Static FBML application. This powerful feature can bring additional functionality to a page such as e-mail collection, specialized content, or a landing page for sales activity. The URLs of “Like Pages” start with http://www.facebook.com/pages… and include the name of the page.
