Facebook is the largest social network in the world. It was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, and became very popular in 2006. Mark Zuckerberg was a university student at the time, and eventually became a billionaire because of Facebook.

On Facebook, you can register an account, create groups and communities, and post or send messages to your friends. To be registered as a user on Facebook, you have to use your email. The minimum age requirement for joining is 13.

Website[edit | edit source]

The site uses blue as its signature colors as Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind. He says that "blue is the richest color for me—I can see all of blue." The website is built by PHP in C++ and Facebook has little windows where you can chat with your friend or play minigames.
