Facebook
Facebook is a social networking service that facilitates interaction amongst its users through a friends list, wall, pokes, statuses, events, photos, videos, messages, groups, the chat, and like button. A Facebook profile requires users to provide their name, gender, date of birth, and email address. Curated friends lists allow users to see updates from their contacts on the News Feed which appeared in 2006.

Facebook was first launched in February 2004 as "TheFacebook.com" by Mark Zuckerberg as a means of connecting Harvard students. Facebook now has over 500 million registered users and is available for those over thirteen years of age with an email address.
