Happy Birthday Facebook

by Nettie Hartsock on February 4, 2009

Happy Birthday to Facebook which as of Feb. 4th will be five years old! Wow!

In tech years, that means Facebook is still in its infancy and I can only imagine what will come in the next five years. (As a recovering technology journalist from back in the day, I can fondly remember writing about gmail in beta and all those ubiquitious apps we now use as part of Google.)

So go Facebook go! And I encourage all of you to get on the Facebook bandwagon.

Interesting stats:

15 million users update their statuses at least once each day

24 million pieces of content are shared each month

Thousands of companies are now on Facebook and its growing leaps and bounds.
