TRANSCRIPT
FACEBOOK- A BRIEF
Prepared By : Abhinav Bhatnagar
1
INTRODUCTION Facebook is a social network service and website
launched in February 2004 that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Incorporation. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with
his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.
2
CONT 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.

REAL STORY BEHIND FACEBOOK I need to think of something to make to take my
mind off her Statement by Mark Zuckerberg.
4
CONT Mark came up with the idea of comparing
classmates to farm animals and letting people vote on who was more attractive. According to The Harvard Crimson, the site was
comparable to Hot or Not, and "used photos compiled from the online facebooks of nine houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the 'hotter' person".
5
CONT Ultimately, Facemash was created with no
animals involved , on October 28, 2003.
6
CONT Facemash attracted 450 visitors and 22,000
photo-views in its first four hours online. Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website
in January 2004. On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched
"Thefacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com.

CONT Six days after the site launched, three Harvard
seniors, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra, accused Zuckerberg of intentionally misleading them into believing he would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com, while he was instead using their ideas to build a competing product.
9
CONT Eduardo Saverin (business aspects), Dustin
Moskovitz (programmer), Andrew McCollum (graphic artist), and Chris Hughes soon joined Zuckerberg to help promote the website. In March 2004, Facebook expanded to Stanford,
Columbia,Yale and gradually Canada and US.
10
CONT Facebook incorporated in the summer of 2004,
and the entrepreneur Sean Parker, who had been informally advising Zuckerberg, became the company's president.
In June 2004, Facebook moved its base of
operations to Palo Alto, California.
11
CONT Facebook received its first investment of
$500,000 later that month from PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel.
The company dropped The from its name after
purchasing the domain name facebook.com in 2005 for $200,000.

CONT Facebook launched a high school version in
September 2005, which Zuckerberg called the next logical step. Facebook later expanded membership eligibility to employees of several companies, including Apple Inc. and Microsoft. Facebook was then opened on September 26, 2006, to everyone of ages 13 and older with a valid email address.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Business environment of facebook is totally
depends upon these factors in my opinion: Socio-cultural Technological Demographic
17
CONCLUSION At last I would to say that Facebook is just by
chance creation by Mark zuckerberg and at that time there is no research methodology adopted.
But today it is a large success by making a
revenue of $2bn.
