facebook

Unser allseits geliebtes Social Network Facebook wird heute 7 Jahre. Am 4. Februar 2004 hat Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz und Chris Hughes sowie Eduardo Saverin in Havard gegründet (Fotos siehe unten!). Schon wenige Jahre später hat das Social Network über 600 Millionen aktive Nutzer, davon alleine über 15 Millionen in Deutschland und wurde zu einem globalen Phänomen.

Auf Facebook findet man auch eine Timeline. Die möchte ich Euch gerne zeigen:
