This year Facebook will be turning 10 years old! To celebrate this milestone, we’ve rounded up a few fun facts about the social networking site!

  • Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg in 2003 and was originally called Facemash and later, TheFacebook.
  • Facebook has more than 1.25 billion users! That means one in every 13 people has Facebook.
  • The movie THE SOCIAL NETWORK is based off of the invention of Facebook. Jesse Eisenberg plays Mark Zuckerberg and Andrew Garfield plays Eduardo Saverin.
  • In Canada and the U.S, Facebook is the #1 social networking site.
  • Facebook has its own Twitter account.
  • There is a feature on the website that allows users to change the language setting to Pirate. “Friends” are called “Mateys” and instead of “liking” a post, you can just say “arr!”
  • The Facebook logo is blue because Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colourblind and blue is the colour he can see best.
  • The celebrity with the most Facebook fans is Rihanna. She has over 85 million fans!
  • The “Like” button was originally supposed to be called the “Awesome” button.
