Facebook turns Six



This is one of those times where the young are made to feel old. As a junior in high school (early 2006), I initially started using 'thefacebook.com' to keep in touch with some of the friends I had made in an exchange trip to Norway. Founded February 4th, 2004, FB now has 350 million users worldwide, headquarters in Palo Alto, Seoul, and Dublin, and is available in 71 different laguages (including Pirate and upside down English, in some places). As a businessman, I am sure Mark Zuckerberg never knew that the social connector he meant for just his Harvard classmates has turned into the world's way of keeping in touch (and his way of making $2 billion by the age of 25). Congrats to Facebook, and let this early success hopefully inspire any young entrepreneurs.
