Facebook

I've had a Facebook account for what seems like forever. After reading the article titled "How Mark Zuckerberg Turned Facebook Into the Web's Hottest Platform," I realized how much the site has changed since I joined.
I was a freshman in college when I set up a Facebook account. My friend Jenni encouraged me to do so. She went to Indiana University and I stayed local and went to Purdue Cal. We were able to share pictures and stay and contact easily. My friends list grew and soon almost everyone I went to high school with was on Facebook. I liked that I was able to keep in touch with some people that, if it wasn't for this site, I most likely would not have.
As for Zuckerberg, I find it inspiring that he turned down $1 billion dollars and chose not to sell his site. There's not many people who would do that. Facebook was something he created and something he felt connected with. No amount of money would persuade him to sell his invention to a company he didn't feel would be able to handle it correctly. I'm sure not many people would do the same.
I like the changes that have been made to the site. I don't interact with many people on the site other than my college friends, even though others are now allowed to join. I was one of those people that were very annoyed by the News Feed feature and first, but I grew to like it after some time.
I think Facebook has a long future with users of all ages and backgrounds. I enjoy being part of it and being able to stay in close contact to friends whom I don't see on a regular basis.
