Facebook is the #1 social network in the world currently, with over 350 million registered users. Even more impressive than its size is the fact that most Facebook users repeatedly visit the site, with over 65% of registered users logging on to their Facebook account multiple times per day. Facebook began as a site for college students back in mid-2004. To be a member of Facebook, you had to have an email address associated with an institution of higher learning, and you had to be a student. Professors and staff were not allowed on the site until later the following year.
Since that time, Facebook has evolved to an open network for anyone to connect and share with friends and new acquaintances. It has grown exponentially, reaching an audience of 50 million users in just two short years, and continuing unprecedented growth since then.
