From Harvard dorm room to 1.2 billion users, Facebook has come a long way in ten years.

Today marks 10 years since Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook from his dorm room at Harvard University. Since then, the site has grown to become a global social network with more 1.2 billion monthly active users.
“It's been an incredible journey so far, and I'm so grateful to be a part of it. It's been amazing to see how people have used Facebook to build a real community and help each other in so many ways," said Zuckerberg. "In the next decade, we have the opportunity and responsibility to connect everyone and to keep serving the community as best we can.”

Zuckerberg launched "Thefacebook" with his college roommates and fellow Harvard University students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes on 4 February 2004. Membership was initially restricted to students of Harvard College; within the first month, more than half the undergraduates at Harvard were registered on the service.
