Lecture

Zuckerberg is a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi. At first Mark Zuckerberg was just a student from Harvard University. Zuckerberg then created a social networking system for his class. But after he made the system, it turns out more and more people who are incorporated therein. The system has gradually captured the nearest university from its place of college, and this is the beginning of Facebook that we know today.

From this situation, Zuckerberg took the initiative to develop the network system. First Zuckerberg developed this system and named it Facebook. Zuckerberg and his friends then rented a place in Palo Alto, California as a place to develop Facebook. Due to the preoccupation to develop the Facebook project, Zuckerberg forgot his lecture. Zuckerberg was faced with difficult choices between choosing his education or the project business he was developing. With an optimistic attitude Zuckerberg and his friends chose to leave their college, and focus on the Facebook project. 

Facebook

Zuckerberg launched Facebook from Harvard's dorm room on February 4, 2004. An early Facebook inspiration may have come from Phillips Exeter Academy, a private high school where Zuckerberg graduated in 2002. It publishes its own student directory, a class book by which students are referred to as "The Facebook" . Such photo directories are an important part of social experience for most students in private schools. With that in mind, students can register things such as year of class, their closeness with friends, and their phone numbers .

Zuckerberg decided to spread it to another school, registering with the help of his roommate Dustin Moskovitz. They first started from Stanford, Dartmouth, Columbia, New York University, Cornell, Brown, and Yale, and then at other schools that had social contact with Harvard University. All that he did after college.

Zuckerberg moved to Palo Alto, California, with Moskovitz and some friends. They rented a small house that served as an office. During the summer, Zuckerberg meets Peter Thiel who invests in the company. They got their first office in mid 2004. According to Zuckerberg, they planned to return to Harvard but eventually decided to remain in California. They have turned down offers by big companies that will buy Facebook. On July 21, 2010, Zuckerberg reported that the company reached 500 million users. 

Wirehog

A month after Facebook was launched in February 2004, i2hub, another campus-only service created by Wayne Chang, was launched. i2hub is focused on sharing files between friends. At that time, both i2hub and Facebook had gained press attention and thrived on users and publicity. In August 2004, Zuckerberg, Andrew McCollum, Adam D'Angelo, and Sean Parker launched a competing file sharing service called Wirehog. That is the precursor to the Facebook Platform app. Its appeal is low compared to i2hub, and Facebook finally closes Wirehog down the next summer. 

Platform and Beacon

On May 24, 2007, Zuckerberg launched the Facebook Platform, a development platform for programmers to create social applications within Facebook. Within a few weeks, many applications have been built and some have millions of users. It grew to more than 800,000 developers worldwide Facebook Platform app. On July 23, 2008, Zuckerberg announced Facebook Connect, a version of Facebook Platform for users.

On November 6, 2007, Zuckerberg announced a new social advertising system called Beacon, which allows people to share information with their friends based on their browsing activities on other sites. For example, eBay sellers can let friends know automatically what they have for sale through Facebook news feeds list of their items being sold. This program is under surveillance due to privacy concerns of individual groups and users. Zuckerberg and Facebook failed to respond to concerns quickly, and on December 5, 2007, Zuckerberg wrote a blog on Facebook that it took responsibility for concerns about Beacon and offered an easier way for users to opt out of the service.
