Facebook is a Social Networking Service and Website launched in February 2004, operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.Facebook allows any users who declare themselves to be at least 13 years old to become registered users of the site.The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by some university administrations in the United States to help students get to know each other.
Facebook membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and eventually on Sep26,2006, to everyone of age 13 and older with a valid Email address.
Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow students Eduardo Saverin,Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.
