Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, created the formerly called "The Facebook" while he was on his sophomore years in Harvard University. The term Facebook was derived originally from The Exeter Facebook. This was a physical type of paper which Zuckerberg and his high school classmates in Phillips Exeter Academy would hand around to each of the students, serving their vehicle to get to know their classmates on the following year.
This social network was launched on February 4, 2004 and started out with an exclusive membership to Harvard students. The scheme worked out like a magnet, attracting more than half of the student body at the said university in just two weeks. Due its satisfactory services catering precisely what students needed to build a network of society on line, Facebook become talk of the tongue which spreads its popularity like a thunderstorm to the nearby universities. This magnificent result dawned to the idea of expanding the network, giving Zuckerberg a more immense drive to make Facebook bigger than the globe to conquer people beyond the walls of Harvard University.
The idea of expansion necessitates Mark Zuckerburg to conscript additional manpower who could aid him in building the Facebook to become bigger and wider in area coverage. He then hired Dustin Moskovits to work on the programming of the network, Eduardo Saverin to deal on the business aspect, Chris Hughes who is also his friend joined him in the promotion of the website, and Andrew McCollum who worked on the graphic design of the website.
A month after Zuckerberg worked with Moskovits, Saverin, Hughes, and McCollum, carried out the plan of expanding the network to the nearby area. This expansion commence on March 2004, extending the network to Columbia, Stanford and Yale. It continued to expand especially when Facebook was opened to all Ivy League resulting in a budding demand from the schools in Boston area. Eventually, due to the rising popularity of the Facebook, universities from the United States and Canada requested for the network in their schools. In June 2004, because of the magnificent success of Facebook expansion, Zuckerberg and his company decided to transfer the base of the Facebook operations to Palo Alto in California where they have rented a sublet. Four months after commencement of Facebook expansion, research has registered that on July 2004, there were another 30 colleges added to the network after its expansion in Boston.
The year that follows the era of The Facebook expansion, Zuckerberg's company bought its domain name facebook.com for $200,000 which leads to dropping the article "The" from its original name The Facebook, giving the network its popular name widely known today as Facebook.
