Mark Zuckerberg launched thefacebook.com on February 4, 2004, with fellow Harvard student Eduardo Saverin. Initially available to Harvard students, the social networking site allowed users to create profiles, share photographs, and connect with classmates. Zuckerberg’s roommates Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes helped expand the site to other universities. Zuckerberg left Harvard to focus on the business, which was renamed Facebook in 2005.
