Mark Zuckerberg maker of facebook

Synopsis

Born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York, Mark Zuckerberg co-founded the social-networking website Facebook out of his college dorm room. He left Harvard after his sophomore year to concentrate on the site, the user base of which has grown to more than 250 million people, making Zuckerberg a billionaire. The birth of Facebook was recently portrayed in the film The Social Network.

Early Life

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York, into a comfortable, well-educated family, and raised in the nearby village of Dobbs Ferry. His father, Edward Zuckerberg, ran a dental practice attached to the family's home. His mother, Karen, worked as a psychiatrist before the birth of the couple's four children—Mark, Randi, Donna and Arielle.

Zuckerberg developed an interest in computers at an early age; when he was about 12, he used Atari BASIC to create a messaging program he named "Zucknet." His father used the program in his dental office, so that the receptionist could inform him of a new patient without yelling across the room. The family also used Zucknet to communicate within the house. Together with his friends, he also created computer games just for fun. "I had a bunch of friends who were artists," he said. "They'd come over, draw stuff, and I'd build a game out of it."

To keep up with Mark's burgeoning interest in computers, his parents hired private computer tutor David Newman to come to the house once a week and work with Mark. Newman later told reporters that it was hard to stay ahead of the prodigy, who began taking graduate courses at nearby Mercy College around this same time.

Zuckerberg later studied at Phillips Exeter Academy, an exclusive preparatory school in New Hampshire. There he showed talent in fencing, becoming the captain of the school's team. He also excelled in literature, earning a diploma in classics. Yet Zuckerberg remained fascinated by computers, and continued to work on developing new programs. While still in high school, he created an early version of the music software Pandora, which he called Synapse. Several companies—including AOL and Microsoft—expressed an interest in buying the software, and hiring the teenager before graduation. He declined the offers.

Time at Harvard

After graduating from Exeter in 2002, Zuckerberg enrolled at Harvard University. By his sophomore year at the ivy league institution, he had developed a reputation as the go-to software developer on campus. It was at that time that he built a program called CourseMatch, which helped students choose their classes based on the course selections of other users. He also invented Facemash, which compared the pictures of two students on campus and allowed users to vote on which one was more attractive. The program became wildly popular, but was later shut down by the school administration after it was deemed inappropriate.

Based on the buzz of his previous projects, three of his fellow students—Divya Narendra, and twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss—sought him out to work on an idea for a social networking site they called Harvard Connection. This site was designed to use information from Harvard's student networks in order to create a dating site for the Harvard elite. Zuckerberg agreed to help with the project, but soon dropped out to work on his own social networking site with friends Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin.

Zuckerberg and his friends created a site that allowed users to create their own profiles, upload photos, and communicate with other users. The group ran the site—first called The Facebook—out of a dorm room at Harvard until June 2004. After his sophomore year, Zuckerberg dropped out of college to devote himself to Facebook full time, moving the company to Palo Alto, California. By the end of 2004, Facebook had 1 million users.

Zuckerberg and D'Angelo made a plug-in to collect favorite people against various types of songs and then make his playlist according to their tastes. They send the program to the various companies belonging to AOL (America Online) and Microsoft. In his last at Phillips he was recruited by Microsoft and AOL for a project.

When resuming school to college both must be separated. D'Angelo entered Caltech while Zuckerberg entered Harvard. Zuckerberg at Harvard this is finding the idea of ​​making a book online student directory because the university did not share face book (a book containing photos of students and students in the university's identity) to the new students as a place of friendship between them. But every time he volunteered making the directory, Harvard rejected. "They said they had no reason to not gather information (student)," said Zuckerberg later.

Although denied he was always looking for ways to make it happen. "I wanted to show that it could be done," he said about his stubborn refusal makes that directory. His first project was CourseMatch (www.coursematch.com) allowing classmates to communicate with each other on the website. One night in his second year at Harvard, Harvard students Zuckerberg sabotage of data and put it into a website that he created called FaceMash. Some photos fellow student lie there. Not to forget he put a sentence that asks visitors determine which of these photos are the most "hot". Inducement hit. Within four hours since he launched webiste it recorded 450 people visited FaceMash and as many as 22,000 photos of them open. Harvard parties know it and the internet connection was disconnected. Zuckerberg sued for stealing data. The curly-haired young children also apologized to colleagues whose picture entered in FaceMash. But he did not regret his actions. "I think such information should be available (online)," he said.

Rather than give up he instead made a new website by the name Facebook (www.thefacebook.com). This website he launched in February 2004. Facebook is a refinement of FaceMash. The goal remains a meeting place for fellow Harvard students. In the explanation on its website now states that Facebook is a social tool to help people communicate more efficiently with colleagues, family, or colleagues. Facebook offers easy navigation for users. Each account holder has space to display his picture, his friends, network, and do other things like being able to send messages and so forth.

The number of applications that can be used by members to make up loved by many people. It is said that up to now more than 20,000 applications put in Facebook that could be used by its members. At least 140 new applications added to Facebook every day and 95% owner of a Facebook account has been used at least one application.

The inclusion of many of these applications makes Facebook different from previous social networking websites such as MySpace. Then people flocked to visit the website and sign up to be members. Within two weeks after its launch, half of Harvard students already have an account on Facebook. Was not only Harvard students who are interested, a few campuses around Harvard had asked be included in the network Facebook. It makes Zuckerberg overwhelmed. He then asked the help of two friends to participate in developing Facebook. Within four months Facebook has been able to encompass 30 campuses. Until the end of 2004 the number of Facebook users has reached one million.

Facebook users continues to increase. In fact there are a number of people who no longer a student or are still in school wants to join. This insistence height makes Zuckerberg and his friends decided to open up the network for high school students (here SMU) in September 2005. Shortly afterwards they also open up networking office workers. This overcrowding makes Zuckerberg must decide out of Harvard. "What I want is already in hand. I do not want to have a diploma later work. According to me, the work is only for people who are weak," he told the magazine Current. Zuckerberg and his friends then develop up further. On September 2006 Facebook opened registration for general networking with the requirement to have an email. Since then the number of Facebook members bolted.

The current number of active members to 70 million worldwide. Dihimpunnya network that reaches six million network (group of friends) covers 55,000 networks based on demographics, work, school, collegial, and so on. Every day there are 14 million photos are uploaded (put up). And in terms of the amount of traffic accessing Facebook became the most active website 6th in the world and become the second largest social networking website version camScore.

Selling Shares So Rich

Number of Facebook members are millions of people that become a lucrative gold mine. Zuckerberg and his friends had caught a great business opportunity. Therefore, when the number of its user exceeds one million they took Accel Partners, a venture capital company, to finance its development. Invested capital is US $ 12.7 million. This is the second investment that goes into Facebook after the previous (June 2004) and from PayPal founder gain of US $ 500,000. The first improvements to the additional capital it is to replace his domain from www. Thefacebook. corn into www.facebook.com in August 2005. Thereafter membership expanded into an international reach. Until December 2005 the number of members has reached 5.5 million.

Although the number of its users increased sharply in 2005 mentioned Facebook suffered losses of up to US $ 3.63 million. Facebook then get funds amounting to US $ 25 million from Greylock Partners and Meritech Capital Partners. The funds were used to launch its mobile version.
