Apple plans to launch its credit card

 

The most popular app around the world

Located in Menlo Park, California, Facebook was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes and is an American provider of online social networking services. It is widely regarded as the most popular social network in the world as it has quickly overtaken the social networking site MySpace, with over 1 billion registered users in 2012 and nearly half that number nowadays.

The Facebook app was initially created as a way for friends to stay in touch, and then quickly evolved into a platform for business and marketing due to its ability to precisely target audiences and deliver ads to them. The app makes it easy to share photos, text, videos, and status updates with friends and offers a customizable set of privacy controls that enable users to protect their information.

The beginnings of the application

In 2003, Mark Zuckerberg, then a sophomore at Harvard University, founded a website called Facemash. He did this by hacking into the university's security network, stealing "student ID" photos used by the institution, and using them to publish his new website that allows users to compare photos of students. Several days later, the Harvard administration ordered the site closed.

'the Facebook'' was a new website created by Mark Zuckerberg on February 4, 2004, to help college students get to know each other better. At first, only Harvard students were allowed to join, but over time, the company changed its name to Facebook and created a separate network for high school students and employees. Finally, in September 2006, Facebook announced that anyone who is at least 13 years old and has a valid email address can join.
