Let's 'face' it...

Most of us wake up every morning, login to our facebook account and check our 'wall', update our 'status'  create 'events', share pictures, play interactive games, and keep updated with all of our family, friends, & coworkers with only a few clicks of the mouse!  In no other generation has this been a possibility! But, thanks to 'Mark Zuckerberg' (founder & CEO) not only is this a possibility...it's a REALITY!!! 

Facebook is a social networking website launched in February 2004 that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc., with more than 500 million active users in July 2010, which is about one person for every fourteen in the world. Users can add people as friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by workplace, school, or college. The website's name stems from the colloquial name of books given to students at the start of the academic year by university administrations in the US with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better.

Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over.

Let's 'face' it!...Our generation, our world, as we have all come to know and love, would just not be the same without our beloved 'facebook'. We, 60 million users statistically spend a daily average of 55 minutes per day viewing over 14 billion facebook pages per month!!  I once read somewhere that facebook receives more 'views' than Google!!!    If you have ever wondered how this social phenomenon first took root, you may enjoy 'The Social Network'. (The Social Network is a 2010 drama film about the founding of the Internet social networking website Facebook. The film was directed byDavid Fincher and features an ensemble cast—Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Brenda Song, Max Minghella, Rooney Mara, and Armie Hammer.) 

It just hit theaters today and I had the privilege of being one of the first to see it. I have to say, it was worth every penny spent aswell as every moment of anticipation!!  I, for one, would like to give a HUGE Thank You to the Founder and CEO of facebook 'Mark Zuckerburg' he has forever changed the way in which our world interacts!!!
