The Facebook story begins with Mark Zuckerberg who originally made the site for students of Harvard to keep in touch and share info with each other in 2004 then as it increased in popularity Mark with help from Andrew McCollum and Eduardo Saverin they increased the colleges to most of Ivy League schools. After donations from Paypal founder Peter Thiel and venture capital from Accel Partners they decided to expand even further to colleges and high school all over the US as well as United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Then in September 2006 facebook opened it's registration to anyone with a valid email address and so the facebook we all know now was born.Facebook is a networking tool that keeps you in touch with friends, family and also encourages you to make new friends. I have been a member for around 7 months I think and I am loathe to admit I have the grand total of 288 friends. 95% of them I know personally they're either friends, family or people I worked or went to school with but I do have a few random people I met on facebook and other sites such as gapyear.com and my online journal on their.
All you have to do once you have registered at facebook is get searching for those long lost friends! Put their name in the search box on the left hand side of your facebook screen and scroll through till you find the person you are looking for. Depending on their privacy setting you may or may not be able to view their whole profile but all you need to do once you see who you want as your friend is click add as friend where they will then get a message to say they have a new friend request. If they want to be your friend too they will accept and then away you go… Once you have your friends added check out all the cool things you can do…
