Mark Zuckerberg wrote Facemash, the predecessor to Face book, on October 28, 2003, while attending Harvard as a sophomore.
Zuckerberg hacked into the protected areas of Harvard's computer network and copied the houses' private dormitory ID images.
Though individual houses had been issuing their own paper face books since the mid-1980s. Facemash attracted 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours online.
Face book was incorporated in mid-2004, and the entrepreneur SEAN PARKER, who had been informally advising Zuckerberg, became the company's president.
In March 2004, Face book expanded to Stanford, Columbia, and Yale It soon opened to the other Ivy League schools, Boston University, New York University, MIT, and gradually most universities in Canada and the United States.
Face book launched a high-school version in September 2005, which Zuckerberg called the next logical step.
Face book later expanded membership eligibility to employees of several companies, including Apple Inc. and Microsoft. Face book was then opened on September 26, 2006, to everyone of age 13 and older with a valid email address.
On October 24, 2007, Microsoft announced that it had purchased a 1.6% share of Face book for $240 million, giving Face book a total implied value of around $15 billion. Microsoft's purchase included rights to place international ads on Face book.
In October 2008, Face book announced that it would set up its international headquarters in Dublin, Ireland.
In March 2011 it was reported that Face book removes approximately 20,000 profiles from the site every day for various infractions, including spam, inappropriate content and underage use, as part of its efforts to boost cyber security.

On April 5, 2008, Face book pre-released Face book Chat. As of April 23, 2008, Face book Chat was released to the entire Face book user base. Users may chat with their Face book friends on a one-to-one basis, or a user may chat with multiple friends simultaneously through the groups feature.

On May 13, 2008, a Face book developer announced that they are working on ” XMPP ” support, allowing hundreds of instant messaging clients to interoperate with the service
FRIENDS
"Friending" someone is the act of sending them a friend request on Face book. Once the friend request is set, the two people are both Face book friends until and unless the receiving party accepts the friend request. In addition to accepting the request, the user has the option of declining the friend request or hiding it using the "Not Now" feature. Deleting a friend request removes the request, but does allow the sender to resend it in the future. The "Not Now" feature hides the request but does not delete it, allowing the receiver to revisit the request at a later date.
It is also possible to remove a user from one's friends, which is referred to as "un-Friending" by Face book. Many Face book users also refer to the process as "de- friending ".“ Unfriend" was New Oxford American Dictionary’s word of the year in 2009.
FACE BOOK LIVE
On August 13, 2010, Face book launched a new service called "Face book Live", a live streaming video channel that is intended to keep Face book users updated to what is happening on the social networking site. The service, powered by Live stream, will feature videos from Face book staff members and celebrity interviews, but is not designed for Face book users to showcase their own videos.
The first official guest was America Ferrera, the leading actress in the television series Ugly Betty. She discussed her new independent film The Dry Land, that was being promoted almost exclusively through social media channels.
The "Like Button" is also available for use on websites outside Face book: "When the user clicks the Like button on [a] site, a story appears in the user's friends' News Feed with a link back to [the] website.
"Like" links are vulnerable to like jacking, a form of click jacking that makes users "Like" content they did not intend to.[29]
An Israeli couple named their child "Like" after the Face book feature in 2011.
lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles in 2010 claiming the Face book should not allow minors to "like" advertising; Face book said the suit was "completely without merit."[ Because websites with a "Like Button" send IP address information of all visitors to Face book
Since the website's founding, it has allowed users to send messages to each other. A Face book user can send a message to any number of his/her friends at a time. Deleting a message from one's inbox does not delete it from the inbox of other users, thus disabling a sender to redo a message sent by him or her.
On November 15, 2010, Face book announced a new "Face book Messages" service. In a media event that day, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, "It's true that people will be able to have a @face book.com email addresses, but it's not email." The launch of such a feature had been anticipated for some time before the announcement, with some calling it a "Gmail killer."
NETWORK,GROU
PS
Face book allows different networks and groups which many users can join. This is essentially equivalent to control of a blog for the administrators. However these blogs allow some additional controls.
Groups are used for discussions, events, etc. and are a way of enabling a number of people to come together online to share information and discuss specific subjects.
A flag which indicates if the group was created prior to launch of the current groups product in October 2010.
The members who have joined, recent news contents, wall contents, photos, posted items, videos and all associated comments of such items. In this respect, groups are similar to "Like pages" (below) but contain a different set of features. Groups are limited to 300 groups per Face book customer.

Notifications of the more important events, for example, someone sharing a link on the user's wall or commenting on a post the user previously commented on, briefly appear for a few seconds in the bottom left as a popup message (if the user is online), and a red counter is updated on the toolbar at the top, thus allowing the user to keep track of all the most recent notifications.
PHOTOS
On April 11, 2011, Face book launched a new feature for photo tagging – people can tag photos with a brand, product, company or person’s Face book page, similar to the way they tag their friends in photos.
In August 2011, Face book announced that it would be adding a series of photo filters to its mobile application.
Face book plans to unveil nearly a dozen photo filters, which will be similar to Instragram's grainy images.[Per last known numbers, today in the world, highest number of photos are hosted at Face book.
During the time that Face book released its platform, it also released an application of its own for sharing videos on Face book.
Users can add their videos with the service by uploading video, adding video through Face book Mobile, and using a webcam recording feature. Additionally, users can "tag" their friends in videos they add much like the way users can tag their friends in photos, except the location of the friend in the video is not displayed.
Users also have the option of video messaging. Videos cannot be placed in categories, whereas photos are sorted by albums. Facebook Video can support up to 1080p format and even 4K resolution.

In 2009, Face book added the feature to tag certain friends (or groups, etc.) within one's status update by adding an @ character before their name, turning the friend's name into a link to their profile and including the message on the friend's wall.
TIME
LINE
Since December 15, 2011, a Timeline is the new virtual space in which all the content of every Face book user will be organized and shown. Replacing the Face book Profile, in a Timeline the photos, videos, and posts of any given user will be categorized according to the period of time in which they were uploaded or created.
Posts and events are displayed along a timeline that runs through the center of the profile, with the option of adding events that occurred prior to the user joining Face book as well as "hiding" posts.[
Timeline was originally offered as an option, but all users will be migrated to the format on March 30, 2012.
