Happy Birthday, Facebook!
February 5th is a monumental day in history. You might be asking yourself, "What is so important about this random day?" Well friends, today marks the seventh birthday of the largest and most revolutionary social network: Facebook. Over the years, Facebook has grown from an exclusive website for Harvard students to an international social and business phenomenon.
Social Media website, Mashable, did an awesome write-up about the history and changes Facebook has undergone over the past 7 years. Have a look back in Facebook history and reminisce on the days when advertisements and privacy settings didn't swarm your news feed.
7 Years of Facebook: A Retrospective
Wow, seven years already! I remember I was one of the people who didn't have a Facebook for a -long- time. I got one junior year of high school, which was pretty late, considering all my friends had already had one for a while. Looking back, it has been quite a journey (and it continues, or course!). It seems like the privacy settings change constantly, which can be a little irritating. I can remember the homepage looking totally different, and then having to relearn where to find everything every time they changed it- whew! Some changes have been good, but I kind of miss "becoming a fan" of things..."liking" is just not the same.
