The early days of Facebook – Mark Zuckerberg’s dorm room project
In the early 2000s, Mark Zuckerberg, a Harvard University student, embarked on a journey that would change the world forever. In his dorm room, Zuckerberg created a website called “Facemash” that allowed users to compare and rate the attractiveness of their classmates. This controversial project laid the groundwork for what would eventually become Facebook. Recognizing the potential for a larger social networking platform, Zuckerberg partnered with his college roommates to launch “TheFacebook” in 2004.
Initially limited to Harvard students, the platform quickly gained popularity and expanded to other universities, including Stanford, Columbia, and Yale. The concept of connecting with others online was not entirely new, but Facebook’s user-friendly interface and exclusive access created a sense of intrigue and exclusivity, making it an instant hit among college students. The platform provided a space for users to create profiles, connect with friends, and share their thoughts and experiences, setting the stage for the social media revolution that was about to unfold.
