Facebook Log In Page Through The Years And Facebook Trivias From 2004 Onwards
Facebook has truly come a very, very long way from its humble beginnings as Facesmash software in 2003 to now becoming more populous than the most inhabited nation on Earth! Lets take a quick look at the social networking sites history via these FB log-in page screengrabs and Facebook Trivias through the years.
On February 4, 2004, Harvard student - Mark Zuckerberg - launched Thefacebook.com, a website where he and his classmates could share school notes. Membership on Facebook was then restricted to students of Harvard College but eventually expanded to Stanford, Columbia, and Yale after barely a month of the sites online existence. After several weeks, students from other Ivy League universities and most universities in Canada and the US joined Facebook and greatly contributed to making the social networking site a smashing success in the academe. In June 2004, Facebook moved its base of operations to Palo Alto, California.
In September 2005, Zuckerberg opened Facebook membership to high school students and called it the next logical step for the site. Later that year, Facebook expanded membership eligibility to employees of several companies, including Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corporation.
In 2006, Facebook launched News Feed, which is an algorithmically generated and constantly refreshing summary of posts and updates about the activities of ones friends. On the same year, registered an estimated revenue of $52 Million.
On October 24, 2007, Microsoft purchased 1.6% share of Facebook for $240 million -- implying that the sites value was already at $15 billion. Earlier that year, Facebook launched m.facebook.com and officially announced mobile support.
The revamped look of 2008 Facebook Login Page reflects the significant redesign of the sites overall user interface. "Facebook Beta" gave rise to The Mini-Feed, Tabbed Profiles and Wall -- new features that are integral to Facebooks efforts to create a "cleaner" interface.
In 2009, the New Oxford American Dictionary chose the word "unfriend" as its Word of Year. According to New Oxford, "unfriend" is a verb that means "To remove someone as a friend on a social networking site such as Facebook."
In February 2010, thanks to Facebooks 90.2% reach in the country, the Philippines became the leading nation in the Asia Pacific Region when it comes to engagement in social networking websites.
By the end of 2011, Facebook had become the Philippines most popular website with a penetration rate of 93.9%. On the other side of the world, on February 22, 2011, an Egyptian baby was named "Facebook" commemorating the vital role Facebook in Egypts revolution.
On the 9th of April 2012, Facebook announced that it had bought then popular photo sharing app, Instagram, which then had a total of 150 Million users around the world.
By the end of 2013, over 556 million people had been accessing their Facebook accounts via their smartphones or tablets.
On February 4, 2014 - as part of its tenth anniversary celebration, Facebook introduced the Look Back feature, which then created an automated video for each FB user looking back on his or her life as recorded on the social networking site
Facebook confirmed official support for GIFs on May 29, 2015.
On May 24, 2016, Facebook released Facebook Reactions to the general public. The feature allowed users to choose among five additional reactions on top of "like" action to convey how they feel towards to a post. The new reactions are "love", "haha", "wow", "sad", and "anger".
As of January 2017, 1.87 Billion people around the world are already on Facebook, representing a 17% increase year over year and making FB practically larger than China or India in terms of population.
