Facebook, the social networking sites on the Internet, announced Wednesday that surpassed the 500 million active users, which had already been confirmed by several studies, and thanked our users to participate in its dissemination in the world.
“It’s an important threshold for all of you who have helped to expand Facebook worldwide, and now many more people a chance to stay in touch with those who are important to them,” says co-founder and head of the young company, Mark Zuckerberg, the group blog and a video made for the occasion.
“Five hundred million is a beautiful number, but it’s not the number that really matters. What matters are all the stories that you tell us about the impact of their connections in your lives,” said Mark Zuckerberg, 26.
Facebook was created in February 2004 by three young Americans. Mark Zuckerberg, then 19 years, and two other students of the prestigious Harvard University (Massachusetts), Chris Hughes and Dustin Moscovitz, wanted to create a network to keep in touch with his comrades.
The social network, based in Palo Alto (California), now has hundreds of employees. The private company motto is “We do revolutionary things.”

Personally, Facebook is some serious dangerous thing. Even if it allows people communicate and enjoy many things, the default things in privacy settings allows external people you don’t know to know everything about you.
Something I dislike that is that if you die, your account won’t be erased.
