Facebook….
I created my Facebook account when it 1st started but I only started to be hooked on it since 3 months ago.
Facebook is a social networking website. The very 1st social networking website I came across was e-Circles in 1997. Unfortunately, it shut down very soon after.
Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook with fellow computer science major students and his roommates Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University. Website membership was initially limited to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It later expanded further to include any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 250 million active users worldwide (Source from Wikipedia).
The other social networking website which I was hooked on is Friendster but somehow Facebook has replaced it as my friends started switching over to Facebook.
A January 2009 Compete.com study has ranked Facebook as the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users, followed by MySpace.
I don’t know how long this Facebook craze can last, but it will definitely be there for now until another social networking website takes over its place.
