Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook

by Susan Dobinick

Overview

With over 2,000 employees, 800 million users, and annual revenues of more than $4 billion, it's hard to imagine that Mark Zuckerberg—in his Harvard dorm room—started Facebook less than 10 years ago. This is the astounding story of Zuckerberg’s launch of "thefacebook," as it was originally called in 2004, and with it the revolutionizing of business and the way we communicate, and spread messages, throughout the world. This new way of communicating has inspired great social change. Readers discover how business success is not just financial, but also humanitarian.
