Title: Facebook - When It First Started
Post by: Super Sonic Boom on April 18, 2010, 02:19:10 PM
Millions of people use Facebook everyday now, from the "Friend Requests" to the "Pokes"...it has become a huge social networking website. You may not have know how Facebook started, and most people have not seen these pictures of it when it first started.

Facebook was opened to anyone 13 years or older 2006, before then it could only be used by their partnered universities, high schools and companies. The name was changed to Facebook after the domain name Facebook.com was bought for $200,000 in 2005

This is what it originally looked like before today:

Pretty amazing stuff eh? From a simple website like this...to a household name!

Would that be considered "The Golden Age of Facebook?"

Maybe, but everyone seems to complain about it now and it's become such a huge and bloated thing.

I wish facebook wasn't invented. Then stalkers wouldn't be able to stalk people as well as they do now.

Facebook for me is not good. In fact, because I heared what's happening (Sex, Rapes, Insults, and much more stuff). Also, I heared in some news that Once you login and create a Facebook account, you cannot delete it. But some people found a way, and I had a facebook that I wanted to delete permamently. So, the site told me to not enter Facebook.com again or else it will be activated forever. In fact, my opinion for facebook is...
...Forget it, I don't like facebook. *Turns and walks away*

Pretty much.

I don't see why people are worried about selected incidents...
I mean, my mum was worried about me playing certain games as she thought that I would dress up as the charas, go to school and shoot people. Why the f*ck would I do that?
I don't think parents should stop children from doing things b/c of a few incidents.

Facebook is personally an "Idiot Detector", you'd have to be an idiot to allow someone you know where you are, what you are doing, personal things, or EVEN FRIEND THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

(The rapes, sex, and everything we hear sometimes is caused only by poor judgement.)

Facebook is probably the dumbest thing around, but it is the most informative thing to have in case of an emergency. True it may have it's ups and downs...but it's the internet, lots of crap happens that we can either change or not change[/size]
