Facebook was founded exactly 11 years. Since then, it has become the most popular social network in the world and revolutionized the way we communicate.
In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg, 19, together with three colleagues from Harvard University, launched a network communication site. In the same year, Time magazine described ‘TheFacebook’ as a project for college students with limited means of public and capabilities.
“The operators of social networking sites sometimes do not like to admit that the pages are to meet. Prefer to say that serve to improve the student life in general. Chris Hughes, a student on the rise at Harvard University, who helped create the ‘thefacebook.com’, (…) says that, together with colleague Mark Zuckerberg had the idea of creating a ‘directory of information for college students ‘. Allows students are networked through friends, and the people of the same class or who liked to know. The site has 58 members, all colleagues and members of the Ivy League (best US universities). ‘
In 11 years, Facebook went from 58 members to 1.4 billion users. In December 2014, the site recorded an average of 1039 million hits monthly and 890 million per day. Currently, one in five people in the world is the social network. It has also become a business giant to acquire photo sharing applications such as Instagram, and instant messaging, as WhatsApp.
The study “The Portuguese and Social Networks 2014″, Marktest concludes that 96% of Portuguese who use social networks have an active Facebook profile .
As a way to celebrate 11 years of existence, the company celebrates the friendship on Facebook Stories site. From Wednesday, the page offers stickers, stories and statistics.
