Facebook


 * Facebook **

 * The actual website Facebook was created in the year 2004. Just 10 years ago! **
 * The actual website was created by Mark Zuckerburg and his Harvard University roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew Mccollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. The Winklevoss twins (Harvard Students) invited Mark over to their flat to talk about a website that they thought of. It was where people could talk about their day and things like that. They asked him if he could join them into making this program work and he answered with a simple Yes and then left.

 * A couple of months later Mark stopped working for them and took that idea right from under their noses and then made his own team with his roommates to make it. That was the early stages of Facebook. Once Facebook was on wheels, the Winklevoss twins found out and were after him trying to sue him and his roommates. **
 * One year later, Mark, Andrew, Dustin, Chris and Sean moved to California to think about Facebook and be in hiding from the Winklevoss twins. Eduardo was at home with is girlfriend. **
 * Later Mark and Eduardo became very distant and didn’t see each other much. **
 * Many changes happened to Facebook. Mark got involved with a company and got a serious amount of money from Facebook. He bought a building where Facebook could finally strive. **
 * He gave all of his partners an insane amount of money. Giving 30% of money to himself and Eduardo, 17% to Sean and 9% to Andrew, Dustin, and Chris. **
 * But then things went bad. Very bad. The Winklevoss twins finally sued Mark and so did Eduardo Saverin. You may think, Eduardo sued Mark? Why? Well, because Eduardo wasn’t contributing as much effort to Facebook as everyone else Mark dropped his Facebook money rate to 0.09%. **
 * From there Mark turned Facebook into a thriving company with over 1,000,000,000 active users. **
 * Yes Facebook! YES! **
