Before Facebook grew into a global powerhouse, it began as a modest college project. In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg created the platform from his Harvard dorm room under the name “TheFacebook,” designed as a simple student directory for connecting and sharing profiles. The site quickly spread across university campuses, drawing millions of users before opening to the public and eventually dropping “The” from its name. What started as a basic social network for students soon became one of the world’s most influential companies, transforming how billions communicate and share information online.(Historic Vids)
