* is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by *,Inc.Since September 2006,anyone who confirms themselves to be over the age of 13 with a valid e-mail address can become a * user.*'s target audience is more for youths than alts.Users can add friends and send them messages,and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves.Additionally,users can join networks organized by workplace,school,or college.The website's name stems from the colloquial name of books given to students at the start of the academic year by university administrations in the US with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better.
* was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eardo Saverin,Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.The website's 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 later expanded further to include (potentially) any university student,then high school students,and,finally,to anyone aged 13 and over.The website currently has more than 400 million active users worldwide.
The original concept for * was borrowed from a proct proced by Zuckerberg's prep school Phillips Exeter Academy which for decades published and distributed a printed manual of all students and faculty,unofficially called the "face book".
* has met with some controversy.It has been blocked intermittently in several countries including Syria,China,Vietnam,and Iran.It has also been banned at many places of work to discourage employees from wasting time using the service.
Privacy has also been an issue,and it has been compromised several times.* settled a lawsuit regarding claims over source code and intellectual property.The site has also been involved in controversy over the sale of fans and friends.
A January 2009 Compete.com study ranked * as the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users,followed by MySpace.Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade 'best-of' list,saying,"How on earth did we stalk our exes,remember our co-workers' birthdays,bug our friends,and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before *?"
There have recently been reports of * proposing an initial public offering (IPO),i.e.issue equity shares as stock to investors.However,Zuckerberg stresses that it will not be for a few more years,and the company is in no need of additional capital.Also,some analysts fear the * IPO might be a particularly weak one.
