Facebook is the largest networking site in the world. Facebook is everywhere and was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, originally only allowing college students to access the site and then slowly branching out from there.

Facebook primarily operates out of Palo Alto California, however they offer jobs in various places around the world. When it comes down to it Facebook's product is all of our lives and daily activities, pictures etc. besides the advertising that companies pay Facebook to do. Facebook also allows users to play games; these games can cost money for users to play so that is revenue for Facebook.
