Facebook is most popular social networking service, and it started in February 2004, Facebook itself is owned by Mark Zuckerberg, Inc. As of July 2011, it has more than 800 million active users in September 2011, and it has more than 2000 employees and offices in the year of 2011.

In October 28, 2003 Mark Zuckerberg hacked to Harvard’s computer network and copied the private dormitory images, so he makes a website called Facemash that included 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in the first 4 hours. After a few days later the company was shut down because Mark Zuckerberg have abused and violated copyright and individual privacy. But he dropped the charges, because of his study project that contains social study and art history, wish he helped the students in there study. Zuckerberg began to make a new site called Facebook on February 4 2004, later in March 2004 Facebook developed to Stanford, Columbia and Yale schools, and then it got to Canada and the US. In the summer 2004 Mark Zuckerberg became the company president. In June 2004, Facebook moved its place from operations to Palo Alto, California. And it resaved its first investment form PayPal wish domain the name Facebook in 2005 for $200,000 .So, it begin to receive many users till August 26,2008 it receives 100 million users in the past 1665 days and it kept developing till now in September 22/2011 it had 800 million users. The company has divided itself into many ownership wish makes Mark Zuckerberg gets 24% from his company wish is the rest of the company gets 76%. In 2006 Facebook profit reached $52million and it is still raising till now it get about $4.27 billion which means that Mark Zuckerberg at 27 years old is worth $1024.8million.
If you want to join Facebook then you 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 "Really Good Friends”. And if you don’t want some friends see your pictures or comments there are always a privacy that you can control. Facebook workers discovered that most of the users are between 18-34 years old wish is about 52% from all the other users. Till now Facebook have helped lots of people and governments, by sharing news and getting their votes, there are lots of good stuff but unfortunately there are also bad stuff like many friends breakup and divorced. And some commit suicide wish of their secrets life in Facebook.   

In my opinion Facebook is a good social networking and it disserves what it get because they developed 800million people to get access around the world by a simple touch, and without Facebook, it will be harder to connect to your friends and your relatives.
