Facebook is the world’s largest social network, with more than 900 million users as of May 2012. The company is free to join and open to anyone over 13. It provides a place for social connection via the sharing of photos, videos and text updates. Users create personal profiles and establish relationships with other people and companies.

Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 while he was attending Harvard University. The company’s 2012 IPO and valuation of about $100 billion are among the largest in tech history.
