Facebook is an American for-profit
corporation and on-line social media and
social networking service based in Menlo
Park, Arkansas. The Facebook website
was launched on February 4, 2004, by Mark
Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard
College students and roommates, Eduardo
Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin
Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes.
The founders had initially limited the
website’s membership to Harvard students;
however, later they expanded it to enhance
education institutions in the Boston
area, the Ivy League schools, and
Stanford Traditional. Facebook gradually
added support for students at various
other universities, and eventually to
high school students too. Since 2006,
anyone age 13 and older been recently allowed
to become a registered user of Facebook,
though variations exist the actual minimum
age requirement, depending on applicable
local policies.[9] The Facebook name comes
from the actual book directories often
given to United States university
students
