The founder of Facebook is Mark Zuckerberg. He is born on May 14 1984. He is an American computer scientist, software developer and philanthropist best known for creating the social networking site facebook, of which he is CEO and president.To accomplish this, Zuckerberg hacked into the protected areas of Harvard's computer network, and copied the houses' private dormitory ID images. The following semester, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website in January 2004. He was inspired, he said, by an editorial in Harvard Crimson about the Facemash incident.
On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "Thefacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com.On October 24, 2007, Microsoft announced that it had purchased a 1.6% share of Facebook for $240 million, giving Facebook a total implied value of around $15 billion.
Facebook also became the top social network across eight individual markets in Asia—the Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Vietnam, while other brands commanded the top positions in certain markets, including Google-owned Orkut in India, Mixi.jp in Japan, CyWorld in South Korea, and Yahoo!’s Wretch.cc in Taiwan.
