Happy Birthday Facebook


Posted: February 4th, 2009 | By: Steve Mullen | Filed under: Social Media News | No Comments

Happy Birthday to the hottest social media and social networking site on the planet!  Today is Facebook’s fifth birthday, and it’s absolutely shocking how far the site has come in those five years.  It wasn’t horribly long ago that (old) folks like me weren’t even allowed to sign up.  Now, I’m hearing regular stories from my contemporaries about being “friended” by a parent!

Facebook and its 150 million highly addicted users (a number that’s growing rapidly) have become such a part of our culture that it’s rare to get a gathering of people together where the site doesn’t come up in one way or another.  I was astounded recently at a post-Christmas party to hear Facebook mentioned at least 10 times among the 15 people or so in attendance.

Facebook is celebrating by offering special thank you cards (electronic cards, of course) to send to your friends on the site.  I’m getting ready to send a few out now.  They’ve also posted information on the Facebook official “page” (Facebook account required for that link).
