EARLY INVESTORS
Soon enough the money started rolling in, receiving $12.7 million (£8.8m) worth of investments in 2005 and $27.5 million (£19m) in 2006.
SOARING USERS
Four days after it went live thefacebook.com had just 650 users. Just nine months after the launch, it had nearly one million active users. And less than a year later it changed its name to simply Facebook.com.
FAMOUS FACES
Before a homepage redesign in 2007, Facebook’s front page featured a man’s face, slightly blurred by code. Known as the “Facebook guy” people eventually realized the face in fact belonged to actor Al Pacino.
COVERING THEIR BASES
Facebook goes the extra mile to protect its brand, owning around 1900 Facebook-related domain names including FB.com, IHateTheFacebookLikeButton.com and FacebookCreditsSuck.org
