About Facebook (Meta)
In 2023, sophomore Mark Zuckerberg with his classmates (Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes) created Facemash. This was a controversial website allowing students to rate each other’s attractiveness based on the photos that they hacked from university records.
Facemash shut down as quickly as it was launched, but it left a mark on Mark’s mind and a realization that there is a lack of such a universal online platform for students. And Mark started coding and founded a new platform by January 2004, and launched TheFacebook (facebook.com) on 4 February 2004. It was initially exclusive to Harvard students, but rapidly expanded to Ivy League universities and across other colleges in the United States. Soon, the platform reached over a million users and by the end of 2004 investors and tech entrepreneurs were attracted towards it.
In June 2004, Mark and his team moved to Palo Alto and Facebook continued to grow, introducing new features like Wall. The platform was then opened for general public in 2006 and despite early legal challenges over the site’s origins, its innovative approach set it apart from the competition.
