Facebook is probably the most popular websites where a person can chat with just about anyone. Not only can you chat, but also download pictures, videos, and basically keep a day to day journal of your life so the people on your “friends” list can be updated. Facebook has become so popular that there are currently over 250 million Facebook users as of July 2009. Around a half of a million join each day.
Mark Zuckerberg is the creator and owner of Facebook as well as the youngest billionaire currently alive. The global social network has been up and running since 2004.
30 million “Facebookers” update their profile daily. The average Facebook user is online about 21 minutes per day and visits the site at least four times per day. One billion pictures are uploaded monthly. Out of the over 250 million Facebook accounts, 6 million are high school students from the United States. 85% of college students have a Facebook account.
