In the digital world we live in today, many users have launched their businesses on Facebook. It's just important to know how to manipulate the new features to make your business work (you need to find the right techniques to increase the number of likes on your page).
Some business activities also depend on this platform. Even people who just want to communicate with their loved ones use this social network. To make new acquaintances, Facebook is also one of the best platforms to opt for, and notably the most widely used worldwide.
Apart from its ease of use, Facebook is currently convertible to all the world's languages. The most important of these advantages is that not only is it free to create a Facebook profile, but there's no extra charge for using and downloading the application.
Facebook history
Marck Zuckerberg was just 23 when he founded Facebook in 2004. The young man was a psychology student at Harvard University. At the time, he also had a passion for computer programming. It was in February 2004 that "The Facebook" was created by Marck Zuckerberg and his roommate Eduardo Saverin.
Over time, the team was bolstered by Andrew McCollum, Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskovitz. The result was a great success. Within 24 hours, 1,200 students had registered on the platform.
Within a month, half the students had their own profiles. Its popularity also spread to other schools in the U.S. and Canada. In 2006, a few improvements were made to the interface, the minimum age for creating an account (13), and the removal of the "The" from the name.
Over time, Facebook has evolved by offering new services to its customers and by taking an interest in businesses. Facebook was named the largest online photo hosting company in 2011 and its user numbers reached one billion in 2012. Right now, that number is up to 2.1 billion.
The risk-free creation of a Facebook account
Considering the many rumors about Facebook's security, some people are reluctant to join. The people most vulnerable to these insecurities are users who confuse personal and professional use.
Unlike other social networks, this platform tends to keep the data inserted as long as possible if the account owner does not delete it. Registration is easy and free. In this section, we'll show you how to create a secure Facebook profile.
- First, you just have to go to the Facebook.com site,
- Once you have accessed the site, click on the “create a new account” button
- Normally, you will be redirected to a window containing two text boxes to insert your first and last name. When you have finished filling them in, click on "next" to continue.
- A new window containing three panes should appear, pull the panes and set the content for your date of birth.
- Then you will be asked for a phone number. You must fill it by yours.
- You must then insert your gender. To do this, you only have to check one of the three suggestions, but in case you choose the third category (custom) please complete the required parameters. Then continue by clicking on “next”.
- Now please enter your password. This must have more than 6 characters. If you ever risk forgetting your password, you can write it down in a notepad in order not to lose it.
- Finally, you just have to click on the green “register” button and that's it.
