We learned about how call the founder of Facebook, but there are some facts about the history of social network which will be interesting to be learned.
Interesting facts
The founder of Facebook-Mark Zuckerberg network did not think over the name very long. The fact is that at school where the young man studied, issued to seniors reference books with the addresses, phones and a photo of other pupils. Children called this reference book The Facebook. Only a year later Zuckerberg decided to remove and names an article of the when an opportunity to buy the domain name facebook.com which cost cost 200 thousand c.u. was presented. Those who is interested why Zuckerberg chose as primary color of the website blue should know that the young man – the deuteranopic (badly distinguishes green and red colors, blue – it is good). The young man not only created Facebook, but also became its first user. On September 26, 2006 Facebook became public social network. Since that moment each person can be registered and create the page, having specified the e-mail address at registration.

Today the condition of the guy grew three times more, than during creation of Facebook – 13.3 billion dollars. That the most interesting the guy still continues to wear jeans and a t-shirt, sneakers or bedroom-slippers. That the guy tries to show these – remains a riddle. Or the fact that he is the same ordinary student or the fact that money means nothing to it.
