Facebook is the most popular and largest social network in the world. If you are interested in learning more about Facebook, how to use the network and some of the “tricks” of FB, this material is just for you!

Facebook - what is it

Facebook is not only the largest social network in the world, but also one of the 5 most visited sites in the world. We now know what Facebook is (a social network), but what is the very concept of a social network? To answer this question, let's look at the definition from Wikipedia:

By building social interaction we should understand such things as communication, sharing photographs, images, videos, audio files and other content, evaluating and discussing this content, creating thematic groups and public pages.

This is such an immodest statistic! But that's not all - the most interesting facts about Facebook:

1. Facebook Inc also owns such well-known social networks as Instagram and WhatsApp.
2. In 2016, the company earned $10 billion, and revenue amounted to $27.638 billion. Thus, Facebook earns $52,583 per minute (fifty two thousand five hundred eighty three thousand dollars)
3. The most popular people on Facebook are Real Madrid football player Cristiano Ronaldo, Colombian singer Shakira and Hollywood actor Vin Diesel. All of them have more than 100 million likes on their pages.
4. At one time, the main social network in the world was MySpace, and Facebook was only a copy of it. At that time, MySpace bought FB twice, but twice refused to pay the amounts requested by Zuckerberg - $75 million and $750 million. And in vain - after 2 years, Microsoft bought a 1.5% stake in Facebook for $240 million (thus, the entire social network was worth $15 billion. And now the company is valued at more than 400 billion US dollars! And few people even remember about MySpace now .
5. The Facebook application is the third most popular in the world and is second only to the browser and email applications.
6. Every registered FB user knows every other user through 3.57 friends (six handshakes theory)
7. Mark Zuckerberg, immediately before creating Facebook, worked on a similar site - Facemash, but then the Harvard administration demanded that the project be closed and accused Zuckerberg of violating security and privacy.

The history of the founding of the social network Facebook

Facebook was founded in the winter of 2004 (February 4) by four guys who were roommates at Harvard University. These guys were actually Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin and Chris Hughes. Then the social network had a slightly different name, Thefacebook. At the first stage of development, registration on the site was available only to Harvard students through their email. After some time, access to Facebook was opened to other higher educational institutions in Boston, and after a while - to all US students and teachers. And only starting in the fall of 2006, the social network was able to be used by all the inhabitants of the Earth - but only if the person was 16 years old and had his own email. That is, in fact, for two whole years, FB functioned as a niche intra-university network!

What is the difference between Facebook and other social networks?

For a long time, Facebook was a monopolist in the world of social networks (and still is in most countries of the world), and there was practically no one to compare it with. Well, maybe - except for MySpace, which FB surpassed at the dawn of its existence. However, in lately More and more social networks similar to Facebook have begun to appear, and we can talk more confidently about comparisons. At the global level, the analogues of Facebook are Google Plus and Twitter. Also, some countries have their own national analogues - Odnoklassniki in Russia, Orkut in Brazil, Mixi in Japan, QZone and WeChat in China, Draugiem in Latvia.

Since we live in Russia, we can confidently say about the differences between Facebook and VK and Odnoklassniki. And the main ones are:

It's always interesting to hear about the lives of famous people. Especially if it is filled with many interesting facts and reveals the secrets of achieving success. The article will talk about the creator of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, starting with the very idea of ​​​​developing such a popular project and ending with forecasts. You will learn the history of the social network, the biography of its owner, and much more.

History of Facebook

Mark Zuckerberg is the name of the “father” of social networks, exactly the way we are used to seeing them. Back in 2004, using almost illegal means, he was able to develop the now popular website www.facebook.com. Of course, this story is not as simple as it seems. Not only Mark, but also his student friends took part in the development of this resource. This, as well as many other things, will be discussed further in the text.

Creator Mark Zuckerberg

Having dealt with the history of the emergence of the social network Facebook, let’s move directly to the biography of its creator Mark Zuckerberg. In addition to some well-known facts, he will talk about his personal life, income and wealth, as well as his good deeds, expressed in donations to charity.

Biography

It makes sense to start the story directly from the childhood of the future millionaire. Mark Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984 in a family of American Jews. His childhood passed in the city of White Plains, which is located near New York. He grew up in a family of doctors, his father Edward Zuckerberg worked as a dentist, and his mother Karen was a psychiatrist. In addition to Mark, they had three more children: Randy, Donna and Ariel - all girls. The future creator of the most popular social network began to get involved in programming since childhood, and already at school age he developed the first network game. It was a computer version of the game Risk.

By coincidence, Mark was unable to obtain a higher education. He entered Harvard University in 2002, and studied only until 2004 at the Faculty of Psychology. In addition, he systematically attended IT courses and could work with many popular programming languages, including C, C++, Java, PHP, and so on. Zuckerberg described himself as a hacker. By the way, while studying in college, Microsoft executives paid attention to him after he developed the Synapse program. It was a simple program for composing music tops on the computer.

As mentioned earlier, in 2004, Mark, along with his friends Dustin Moskowitz and Chris Hughes, began developing the now popular social network Facebook. At that time, their acquaintance, student Eduardo Saverin, who later sued Zuckerberg because the latter tried to remove Saverin from managing the company, sponsored them.

• At the beginning of 2009, I met Yuri Milner, whose company five months later bought a 1.96% stake in Facebook for $200 million.
• In 2010 he became “Person of the Year” according to Time magazine.
• At the end of 2010, he joined the Giving Pledge campaign, founded by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.
• In the summer of 2016, I attended a meeting with Pope Francis.

As you can see, Zuckerberg’s life is quite eventful, but only general facts were considered, now let’s move on to the most interesting thing - Mark’s personal life.

Personal life

Mark Zuckerberg married only once - on May 19, 2012, to Priscilla Chan, who was his longtime girlfriend. The ceremony was not entirely ordinary. The young couple invited all their friends and relatives to a celebration dedicated to Priscilla receiving her PhD in medicine. It was only after all the guests had gathered on the back patio that they revealed that the celebration was actually in honor of the wedding. Many thought that the young people timed such a significant day to coincide with the IPO of Facebook, but a representative of the couple said that this was not so, and the reason was the end of Priscilla’s education.

Three years later, on December 2, 2015, a daughter was born into the young family, who was named Maxima Chan, or Max for short. And on August 28, 2017, sister Max was born. Her parents named her after the month - August.

Income and wealth

Mark Zuckerberg owns 24% of his company's shares, making him the world's youngest billionaire, according to Forbes magazine. His share is worth 4 billion US dollars. The corresponding entry was published in March 2010. That same year, in the same magazine, Mark was ranked 29th on the list of the richest people in America. According to Forbes, his fortune was $7 billion. With all this, the young billionaire’s official salary is only one dollar.

Some time later, after all the above calculations, Mark increased his fortune, and in 2011 Forbes magazine ranked him 14th in the list of the richest people in the United States. His income was 17.5 billion.

Mark’s personality will appear on various Forbes lists more than once; for example, in 2012 he took second place in the ranking of young billionaires. There were two interesting events in 2014. First, he purchased a piece of land on the island of Kauai. It cost him $100 million. In the future, Mark plans to build a family property; it is expected that its total area will occupy 280 hectares. Secondly, he was ranked 14th in Forbes. At that time, his fortune was estimated at $33.6 billion.

Four years later, in 2018, his capital doubles and equals 70 billion. This year he was ranked fifth in Forbes and received the status of the youngest multi-billionaire.

Since 2010, Zuckerberg has been on the list of the most influential people in the world, according to the same American magazine. By the way, in 2018 his position in this list was 13, although previously it reached 10.

Charity

In addition to all of the above, Mark Zuckerberg has made a huge contribution to charity. So, at the end of 2015, he published a post on his Facebook page in which he said that he would donate 99% of the company’s shares. At that time it was equal to 45 billion US dollars. This amount will be transferred to appropriate organizations throughout life, and it is aimed at “improving this world for the next generation,” the billionaire said.

In addition, in September 2016, Zuckerberg's wife announced that she was preparing to launch a project called Chan Zuckerberg Science. It will be aimed at combating all kinds of diseases; the total donation budget is $3 billion, distributed over 10 years.

Stages of creating Facebook

Now let's optimize all the information about the Facebook social network and look at the key points of its creation. And we will start directly from 2003, when Mark Zuckerberg took the first step towards his billions.

While studying at Harvard University, Mark had his eye on the institution's network, which represented profiles of students and teachers, with the ability to exchange messages within it. Having gained access to the network, Zuckerberg copied all his data and launched his own website called Facemash. As you might guess, the project was entirely based on the institution's network, so when it became more or less popular, it was blocked for copyright infringement. By the way, it was under this pretext that he was excluded from educational institution Mark himself.

Surprisingly, in 2004, all charges against Zuckerberg were dropped, and, without thinking twice, he began developing his own project based on Facemash. Only this time it was given a different name - The Photo Address Book, or, in short, The Facebook.

The question of who exactly created Facebook is quite difficult to answer, since Mark is not the only one who was involved in its development. As mentioned earlier, the project was created through mutual efforts in close collaboration with Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskowitz, Mark’s student friends. By the way, Parker left the company in 2005, although he continued to communicate with its creators.

Fun fact: the domain name www.facebook.com was received in 2005, but the social network continued to operate within the framework of Harvard University. And only in 2006, every interested user over 13 years old could register in it.

Facebook headquarters and office

Have you ever wondered where Facebook's head office is located? Of course, the site's servers are scattered all over the world, which is why any user does not experience problems connecting to the social networking site, but such a multi-billion dollar company cannot exist without a headquarters.

It is located in the city of Menlo Park. The city itself is quite quiet and cozy, and, perhaps most importantly, it is gentrified. All employees of the purple social network work in such a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

From the images above, you can see that the headquarters does not look like a typical office building, but rather a resort village. According to managers, such an atmosphere promotes productive work. All employees come not to work, but to create.

Further development of Facebook and its prospects

Perhaps, enough has been told about the entire history of the Facebook company, so we can only think about what will happen to it next. For example, in 2006, more than 25 million people were already registered on the resource. It is worth noting that the calculations took into account only active users who systematically visited the social network. At the same time, developers worked in two directions: they developed a news feed and made registration publicly available. While this was happening, Mark was haggling with Yahoo, trying to sell his company. He was offered $1 billion. In fact, any price would not have satisfied the young billionaire; he just wanted to know how much his company was worth.

Soon the news feed was added and a scandal erupted. The fact is that the developers completely forgot about confidential information, and users had personal information about their friends. Surprisingly, after letters poured in asking him to remove the tape, Mark did nothing, he just continued to watch everything.

Following the feed, registration appeared for everyone, and the flow of users began to pour in. Already in 2007, more than 50 million accounts were created on the resource. Accordingly, the company was developing and investments were required, so it was necessary to look for partners. Zuckerberg addressed two worldwide well-known companies– Microsoft and Google. As a result, the contract was concluded with the first.

A year later, in 2008, the hundred millionth user was registered on Facebook, and in 2010 their number increased to 500 million. However, this does not suit the young billionaire. He is not going to stop there and is going to overcome the mark of 3 billion users. To do this, every day the company’s specialists try their best to improve Zuckerberg’s brainchild, introducing new additions and improving existing functionality. It is worth noting that Mark Zuckerberg is considered young for a reason. Despite the fact that he has a multi-billion dollar net worth, he is not yet thirty years old. Therefore, everything is ahead for him.

In the modern world, virtual communication has become the norm; every day, millions of people on our planet use social networks to communicate with their friends and loved ones, to meet new people, to add photos and other purposes. Internet users have pages on VKontakte, Twitter, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Fotostrana and other services. Some even have several social networks have their own profiles. This suggests that the virtual world can replace the real one with ease.

Social networks have provided people with the opportunity to not only make new acquaintances with foreigners, thus learn about the traditions and customs of other countries, the standard of living, etc., thanks to them they can communicate with their loved ones who, for some reason, live far away. In addition, many managed to find relatives through networks whose existence they did not even know existed.

The history of the emergence of the social world

Every day, while on their pages, people don’t even think about where, how and when the very concept of “social network” arose.

In 2004, a service called Facebook appeared to the world. From that moment on, users became aware of social networks. Of course, everyone was interested in who created Facebook - such a unique project.

On May 14, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was born in the USA, which marked the beginning of a new virtual world – social service Facebook, which is by far the largest project in its environment.

How Facebook was created

In 2003, while studying at Harvard University, Mark created the Facemash website, a prototype of a future social network, by hacking into the institution's network and copying private photos. The project developed rapidly and gained popularity among students, but the administration soon closed it, and Zuckerberg was expelled from Harvard for copyright infringement. However, Mark did not give up hope of creating something new that could blow up the world.

After some time, all charges against Mark were dropped, and in 2004 he continued working on a project called The Photo Address Book, or The Facebook for short.

In 2004, Facebook was incorporated as a company under director Sean Parker, who found the first investments for the service. The social network continues to develop.

However, it is difficult to unequivocally answer the question of who created Facebook, since by this time Zuckerberg had accepted Zuckerberg into his team and created the project together with several students. They were Chris Hughes, Dustin Moskowitz and Eduardo Saverin.

In 2005, Parker ceased his activities, but continued to communicate with Zuckerberg.

The creator of Facebook assigned the domain name facebook.com to the company in 2005. And, as you know, this service was originally intended for use by Harvard students, and a little later - for students of other universities. Only since 2006, after receiving a domain, all Internet users over 13 years of age were able to register there.

What role did Mark's comrades play in the creation of Facebook?

Chris Hughes was involved in beta testing of the site, but it was he who proposed making the social network available to students not only at Harvard, but also at other universities, which in the future pushed the guys to the idea of ​​​​bringing Facebook to the international level. Chris graduated from Harvard with a B.A. In 2007, he left the company because he was involved in Barack Obama's election campaign.

After meeting Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin was inspired by the idea of ​​​​creating a completely new project and acted as an investor. Eduardo became commercial director, but the relationship between him and Mark became strained, as a result of which Saverin's share of capital was reduced. During the trial, he was able to return 5% of the company's shares.

Dustin Moskowitz was responsible for the strategic development of the company and led the programmers. He, like Mark, did not graduate from Harvard because he moved to Palo Alto, where a Facebook office was opened. In 2008, Dustin left the company, deciding to start his own developments.

On October 4, 2012, the creator of Facebook announced that the social network had its billionth user registered. According to statistics, every seventh inhabitant of the planet has a page in the project. The service is visited by 968 million users daily, and 1.5 billion registered members monthly.

Mark Zuckerberg, having created Facebook, became the first billionaire at his age, which provided him with a good future and lifelong popularity.

Some statistics

According to statistics for January 2015, from ten CIS countries there are 21,260,000 registered users on the social network Facebook. Among all countries, Russia and Ukraine stand out significantly with 9,600,000 and 3,800,000 participants, respectively. Every year, statistics are encouraging with an increase in indicators, this suggests that the service does not lose its popularity over time, but on the contrary.

Facebook in culture

In addition, Facebook has been mentioned in numerous cartoons, such as South Park, TV series such as Geeks, films, and videos.

Facebook is a fundamentally new project on the Internet

Today, Facebook is the most popular social network in the world. Even the most experienced programmers and financial directors admit that Mark Zuckerberg managed to create an incredibly amazing service at his age, which was almost immediately doomed to popularity.

Thus, the idea of ​​​​creating an international social network, uniting several talented students, came to life, despite all the difficulties encountered on the way to opening a completely new service, which had no analogues yet. When asked who created Facebook, we can say with confidence: Mark Zuckerberg, an incredibly persistent guy who, despite everything, was able to take his project, together with his assistants, to a new level and gain worldwide popularity.

Probably, now few people do not know about the existence of the popular social network Facebook. But few people know about the history of creation and who created Facebook.

Facebook is one of the most powerful social networks in the world. In just a few years, it has managed to transform itself from a service for communicating with a few friends into a huge online platform. Almost everyone is talking about Facebook now and many cannot imagine life without it, especially for the progressive younger generation.

Who invented Facebook?

Mark Zuckerberg is the creator of Facebook. This is a young man who has an unconventional view of how people communicate with each other. Some believe that Zuckerberg is a selfless genius who managed to make all of humanity happy. Others are convinced that he is a thief who has no principles and only thinks about getting his hands on more money. Well, someone thinks that the guy is just lucky, who managed to create a service for himself, and in the end promoted it, reaching heights. As they say: “How many people, so many opinions.”

History of Facebook creation

Those who are interested in the history of Facebook need, first of all, to find out in what year it was created - in 2004 on February 4th. Then Mark Zuckerberg studied at Harvard University, lived in a dormitory and created the website thefacebook.com. It was created specifically for students studying at Harvard and was a . In a few hours, the site gained several hundred users who could register, create their own pages, post information on them, exchange it with other users, and leave comments. At that time, the young man gave people the opportunity to communicate, and today Facebook has become an important part of a third of the world's population.

We learned about the name of the creator of Facebook, but there are some facts about the history of the social network that will be interesting to know.

Interesting facts

The creator of the Facebook network, Mark Zuckerberg, did not think about the name for a very long time. The fact is that at the school where the young man studied, high school students were given directories with addresses, phone numbers and photos of other students. The guys called this directory “The Facebook”. Only a year later, Zuckerberg decided to remove the article “the” as well, when the opportunity arose to buy the domain name facebook.com, which cost 200 thousand. Those who are interested in why Zuckerberg chose blue as the main color of the website should know that the young man is deutanopic (he can’t distinguish between green and red colors well, blue – well). The young man not only created Facebook, but also became its first user. On September 26, 2006, Facebook became a public social network. From that moment on, each person can register and create their own page, indicating their email address when registering.

It would seem like an ordinary student prank - creating a website for students to communicate. But this is what led to the fact that an ordinary American guy became the youngest billionaire in history. In 2010, Zuckerberg was featured in the March issue of Forbes magazine, where he was recognized as the richest person in the world. Zuckerberg's capital was estimated at $4 billion, despite the fact that the young man was then a 25-year-old guy. Just six months after this, the publication’s experts estimated Mark’s fortune at $7 billion.

Today, the guy’s fortune has grown three times more than when Facebook was created - $13.3 billion. The most interesting thing is that the guy still continues to wear jeans and a T-shirt, sneakers or flip-flops. What the guy is trying to show by this remains a mystery. Either that he is just an ordinary student or that they mean nothing to him.

Hi all. Today in the article you will find up-to-date information about what Facebook is, why we need it and we will learn how to use it. We will also look at how it will be useful to us and what its advantages are, and we will also consider the basic concepts.

In the second part of the article we will talk about how to use Facebook as a tool for promoting a business.

Social networks are a place of open communication with the audience, a source of news, a means of communication and self-expression. Millions of users around the world view posts and like posts they like.

Why Facebook?

Many of us are inclined not only to communicate with people whom we know by sight, with whom we communicate, are friends, and spend time, but also to expand our contact base, for example, with those with whom it is useful to communicate in the professional sphere, to exchange experiences, knowledge and skills .

Facebook allows you to increase your circle of acquaintances and enter a professional environment comfortably and without much difficulty. Colleagues and those who are interested in certain areas professional activity, conduct discussions on issues related to economics, finance, politics, leisure, sports and other interesting topics within profiles and pages.

Creation of pages and groups containing information about the company and their active promotion in social media. networks are a form of feedback for your clients and partners. This is a powerful tool that allows you to reach a huge audience needed on at the moment exactly for you.

The number of users of the social network Facebook is only increasing every day, and the trend continues to grow and develop. Despite this, I still quite often meet users online who are not sufficiently aware of the broad capabilities of Facebook and methods of communication not only with companies and partners, but also with each other. This is what our material is about today.

What does it represent?

Facebook is a unique Internet platform, one of the largest social networks in the world, a tool for fast, instant interaction between people from different parts of the planet. This is a widely developed platform with well-thought-out functionality that allows users to actively communicate and interact with each other at any time of the day, in any place, city, or country in the world.

Facebook has multifaceted functionality for interaction between people: users share knowledge and experience, exchange news, photos and videos in personal and professional areas.

Let's get straight to the point. If you don't already use Facebook as a useful tool, then read on.

High-quality and timely, regular use of a certain number of Facebook technologies and tools inevitably leads to results without large material costs. In the following articles we will definitely cover the topic of promotion tools on Facebook.

Agree, in any business it is very important to find the most shortcut to your target audience and use it. Business pages and groups, which you can easily create on Facebook yourself, without the involvement of specialists, do an excellent job of this.

I imagine many people are also concerned with the question of how to attract additional traffic to the site, because we are all ultimately fighting for conversions and want grateful customers to line up for our products or services. We all want prosperity and material well-being. The speed at which information spreads on Facebook is truly phenomenal.

To effectively use it as a tool, you need to formulate a clear plan and promotion strategy, and think through the positioning in advance: your personal role or the role of an organization or company.

• the opportunity to attract useful people to your business,
• rich set of functions,
• special offers,
• setting up the necessary contacts and connections online,
• targeted advertising,
• possibility of direct contact with consumers,
• video and audio,
• viewing the feed, marking “Like”,
• creating reposts of your favorite posts,
• discussion of interesting topics,
• opportunity to share opinions,
• open communication with the audience,
• immediate response to published information,
• mobile version of the site,
• ease of use,
• posting information about professional activities,
• active participation in discussing topics with friends and subscribers,
• quick ad setup,
• the ability to promote the page itself or its internal functions,
• instant testing of demand.

Basic Concepts in Facebook

• Your wall is the space inside your profile where you post posts created using texts, photos or videos.
• Post - publication on a social network.
• A friend or friend is a friend added by mutual consent. The person who clicks “Like” on your page is a subscriber.
• The news feed is a part of your profile where news from the pages of your friends you are subscribed to is located.
• “Like” button - by clicking on it, a person not only becomes a subscriber, but will also receive notifications in the future about new photos and news on your page and see them in their feed.
• Personal profile - a profile containing information about you. Facebook uses real first and last names. Based on your personal profile, you can later create pages and groups.
• Facebook page - a community is formed on the page - a place where people communicate. You can set a short, beautiful address, it is well indexed search engines, is the main tool for various types of businesses.
• Facebook group - created for communication on a specific occasion. It has limited functionality, however, it allows you to share opinions and find friends with similar interests.

Difference between personal profile and page

The main and, perhaps, main difference is that a personal profile contains information specifically about you as an individual. All posts and news that you share are posted on your own behalf.

On the contrary, a Facebook page is primarily designed to talk about a product, service or product, and can also be dedicated to the activities of companies and business communities. The functionality of the pages is designed so that without wasting time, quickly and efficiently, convey information to the consumer and win the sympathy of the audience.

There are a number of rules and tricks on how to find your target audience on Facebook. Especially for you in the near future, I plan to select material on this topic, so do not forget to visit the blog pages.

Continuing the topic, it is also worth noting that, unlike a profile, the page is available to the general public, which plays an important role in attracting grateful customers to your business. In addition, the page is well indexed in different systems search, which in my opinion is a major benefit and can positively impact conversions and profits.

If you are still determined and ready to conquer new heights in the Internet space, then we continue to explore today’s material.
