In 2002, Zuckerberg entered Harvard University where he studied psychology and computer science. He had already gained somewhat of a reputation as a programming whiz, and in 2004 Zuckerberg launched thefacebook.com.
Thefacebook.com, a social networking site, was originally made for only Harvard students. As the site gained momentum within the campus, Zuckerberg and his friends decided to extend the site through other campuses.
In the same year, Zuckerberg moved operations to California to further the company. He officially dropped out of Harvard and became CEO and president of thefacebook.com. In 2005, the company was renamed “Facebook”.
Gradually Zuckerberg and his team allowed for other schools to join Facebook until a point that anyone with an email address would be able to join Facebook.
In 2009, Zuckerberg was 23rd in Vanity Fair’s 100 list. In 2010, a movie based on the birth of Facebook and Zuckerberg’s life was released starring Jesse Eisenberg.
