Facebook was his idea initially to have a platform for the university students to foster their relationship and to improve social life by creating some online log-book displaying profile, blog, album, PIM tool and later on, its subscribers extended to other colleges in US. Currently, Facebook has well over 70 Million members not only US but from the whole world. Its popularity index is 3 folds over Myspace.
