There are always a huge amount of
stuff,like 3G
，
online-
shopping,etc.
rushing into our mind
like flood,
and we may, hey !How come
so many things!
However ,some will fade
away as time flies,while others will stand the
rush
of
time
and
survive
in
the
competitive
——
social
network
servive just well
exaplified this endurance,it keeps an almost
5-year
top10 in the rank of the number
of clicking.
That is really an amazing
mystery.
And today we will
get into the world of social how it
starts? Why it becomes so popular? What
can wo do with this creative
platform?
Okay let
’
s first
get down to some questions.
you guys
sitting here list some name of social network
platform
to me ?
(shou PPT )
many of you have used any social
network platform ,please raise
your
hands.
Wow ,it seems that
almost 70percent have got a social-networking
accout!!Uhm..that
is
a
great
poportion.I
guess
most
of
you
must
be
using
RENREN ,right?To be honest ,i/m also a
RENREN fan,but not that
r,
I
have
always
seeing
students
boiling
their
time
on
RENREN
grumbling (oe wo say complaing) about
all kinds of stuff,or share
something
all the time.
One day,I was scanning
one of my friend Linda
’
s
page on I
noticed
something
quite
strange
.One
of
her
share
is
6
hours
ago,the
other
5hours ago,followed by
a twitter about her meal 4hours ago ,and then a
photo
uploaded
3hours
ago,and
later
is
a
most
common
calling
on
guess what?A requiring of friends
coming to her page!!She will get the
coming number up to 10000 soon!!
Hey,what I want to say is that,are u an
alarm clock?
precisely calculating when
to post something new on your page??
Actually,when
most
Chinese
children
are
sddicted
to
RENREN,they
ignored
the first, the original ,the most
creative version of
social
networking
platform.I
’
m sure
you guys know that,with the first letter of F.
Oh,great ,facebook!!
It
’
s like every
beginning is a huge difficulty,the establishment
of
Facebook also experience a lot of
storms.
Then
let
’
s spend some time going
through the blood-and -tear history
of
Facebook.
Mark
Zuckerberg co-created Facebook in his
Harvard
dorm room.
Mark Zuckerberg wrote
Facemash, the predecessor to Facebook, on October
28, 2003, while attending
Harvard
as a sophomore.
To accomplish this,
Zuckerberg
hacked
into the
protected areas of
Harvard's computer
network and copied the houses' private dormitory
ID
images.
Harvard
at
that
time
did
not
have
a
student
facebook
(a
directory
with
photos
and
basic
information).
Facemash
attracted
450
visitors
and
22,000
photo-views in its
first four hours
online.
[15][17]
The site spent quickly in Harvard, but
it was shut down a few days later
by
the Harvard administration.
Zuckerberg
was charged by the administration with breach of
security,
violating
copyrights
, and violating
individual privacy, and faced
expulsion. Ultimately, however, the
charges were dropped.
[18]
Continue expansion
Zuckerberg expanded on this initial
project that semester by creating a
social
study
tool
ahead
of
an
art
history
final,
by
uploading
500
Augustan
images
to
a
website,
with
one
image
per
page
along
with
a
comment
section.
[17]
He
opened
the
site
up
to
his
classmates,
and
people
started
sharing
their
notes.
The
following semester, Zuckerberg began writing code
for a new website
in
January
2004.
He
was
inspired,
he
said,
by
an
editorial
in
The
Harvard
Crimson
about the Facemash
incident.
[19]
On February 4,
2004, Zuckerberg
launched
[20]
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
, while he was instead using
their ideas to build a competing
product.
[21]
The three
complained to the
Harvard
Crimson
,
and
the
newspaper
began
an
investigation.
The
three
later
[22]
filed a lawsuit against
Zuckerberg, subsequently settling.
Membership was initially restricted to
students of
Harvard College
,
and
within the first month, more than
half the undergraduate population at
Harvard was registered on the
service.
[23]
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
, and
Yal
e
.
[24]
It
soon
opened
to
the
other
Ivy
League
schools,
Boston
University
,
New
York University
,
MIT
, and gradually most
universities in Canada and
the United
States.
[25][26]
Facebook
incorporated
in the summer
of 2004, and the entrepreneur
Sean
Parker
,
who
had
been
informally
advising
Zuckerberg,
became
the
company's
president.
[27]
In
June 2004,
Facebook
moved
its
base
of
operations
to
Palo
Alto,
Califo
rnia
.
[24]
It
received
its
first
investment
later
that
month
from
PayPal
co-
founder
Peter
Thiel
.
[28]
The
company dropped
The
from its
name
after purchasing the
domain name
in 2005 for
$$200,000.

Facebook launched a high-
school version in September 2005, which
Zuckerberg called the next logical
step.
[37]
At that time,
high-school
networks required an
invitation to join.
[38]
Facebook later expanded
membership
eligibility
to
employees
of
several
companies,
including
Apple
[39]
Inc.
and
Microsoft
.
Facebook
was
then
opened
on
September
26,
2006,
to
everyone
of age 13 and older with a valid
email
address
.
[40][41]
On
October
24,
2007,
Microsoft
announced
that
it
had
purchased
a
1.6%
share
of
Facebook for $$240 million, giving Facebook a total
implied value of
around $$15
billion.
[42]
Microsoft's
purchase included rights to place
international
ads
on
Facebook.
[43]
In
October
2008,
Facebook
announced
that
it would set up its
international headquarters in
Dublin
,
Ireland.
[44]
In
September 2009, Facebook said that it
had turned cash-flow positive for
the
first time.
[45]
In November
2010, based on
SecondMarket
Inc., an
exchange for shares of
privately held companies, Facebook's value was
$$41 billion
(slightly
surpassing
eBay
's)
and
it
became
the
third
largest
US
web company after
Google
and
Amazon
.
[46]
Facebook has been identified
as a
possible candidate for an
IPO
by
2013.
[47]
Traffic
to Facebook increased steadily after 2009. More
people visited
Facebook than Google for
the week ending March 13,
2010.
[48]
In
March
2011
it
was
reported
that
Facebook
removes
approximately
20,000
profiles
from
the
site
every
day
for
various
infractions,
including
spam,
inappropriate content
and underage use, as part of its efforts to boost
cyber
security.
[49]
In
early
2011,
Facebook
announced
plans
to
move
to
its
new
headquarters,
the former
Sun Microsystems
campus in
Menlo Park, California
.
[50][51]
Release of
statistics by
DoubleClick
showed that Facebook reached one
trillion pageviews in
the
month of
June 2011,
making it the
most visited
website in the
world.
[52]
It should however
be noted that
Google
and
some
of its selected websites are not
counted in the DoubleClick rankings.
