Facebook is also one of the many ways teens in the 21st century communicate.

**History** Facebook is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook Inc. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city,workplace, school or college. The website's name stems from the colloquial name of books given at the start of the school year by university administrations with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better.

Mark Zuckerburg founded Facebook with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard university. The websites membership was initially limited to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area. It later expanded more to include any college student, the high school students, and finally anyone 13 and over. The website currently has more than 350 million active users worldwide. Making the 4th most populous "country" in the world.
