Evening folks, well it is 28 degrees outside and hot, hot, hot. The windows are open in the office, the net curtain pinned back and the fan is on full, in the other rooms the AC is fired up but this room never seems to cool down for some reason.
Over the last few weeks i have learned so much about websites, auto-responders, Splash Pages, Squeeze Pages, Opt In Forms, C-Panels and all the other stuff that you need to know. I now see Facebook, Titter and Linked-In in a totally different light. I just thought FB was a place to post pictures and make witty comments, wow that thing is huge and i never realised that there was so much going on behind the scenes.
Incidentally, there is an urban legend that states that Mark Zuckerberg invented FB as a way to meet girls. Zuckenberg, a Harvard computer science student did in fact design the social media network to be a sort of "Hot or Not" type of site where photos of fellow student could be compared. The said photos were "Hacked" from the Dormitory computer files. This little prank earned him a place in history as the worlds youngest multi billionaire.
In 2004, an angel investor, Sean Parker (founder of Napster) became the company's president. The company changed the name from TheFacebook to just Facebook after purchasing the domain name facebook.com in 2005 for $200,000.
