Facebook Turned 10 This Year!
Facebook, the world’s most popular social networking website was born on February 4th 2004. 10 years on and the website is as strong as ever with over 1 Billion users. This number is phenomenal in itself but more so for the fact that the medium of social networking was largely unheard of until the early 2000’s.
While Facebook was not the first social network on the scene, it is certainly the one that all the others emulate in terms of its size. Growing from 1 million users in 2004 to 6 million in 2005 is a notable achievement at the outset of any company and growth to over 1 Billion is record smashing.
Over the last 10 years there have been many changes to Facebook; some getting a better reception than others. For example, graph search, timeline, and other changes to the Facebook interface have often been met with initial skepticism but such changes have never affected growth or fan base. Additional features such as the ad platform and business pages are now vital ingredients to most marketing companies’ agendas.
