Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born in the area called Dobbs Ferry, Westchester County, the city of New York.Anak of Edward and Karen Zuckerberg. He was the second of four children of a parent pair dentist - a psychiatrist. Since childhood, Zuckerberg likes tinkering with computers, try a variety of computer programs and learn to keep up. His father bought him a computer since he was eight years old. While in high school Phillips Exeter Academy, he and his partner, D'Angelo, create plug-ins for Winamp MP3 player. Plug-ins are computer programs that can interact with host applications such as web browser or email for specific purposes.
Zuckerberg and D'Angelo makes a plug-in to raise the passions of various kinds of songs and then make a playlist of his suit their tastes. They send it to the program to various companies including AOL (American Online) and Microsoft. On his last year at Phillips he was recruited by Microsoft and AOL for a project.
When the school went to college they should split up. D'Angelo entered Caltech while Zuckerberg attended Harvard. Zuckerberg at Harvard found the idea of making this book online directory of college students because the university did not share the face book (a book containing photographs of students and students at the university's identity) to the new students as a place of friendship between them. But every time he offered to create a directory, Harvard refused. "They say a reason for not collecting the information (student)," said Zuckerberg later.
Although he refused always looking for ways to make it happen. "I wanted to show that it can be done," he continued stubborn about making that directory.
His first project was CourseMatch (www.coursematch.com) which allows classmates to communicate with each other on the website. One night in his second year he enrolled at Harvard, Harvard students Zuckerberg sabotage of data and put it into a website he created called Facemash. A number of fellow student posted photos on it. Not to forget he put a sentence that asks visitors to determine which of these photos are the most "hot". Pancingannya hit. Within four hours since he launched the webiste it recorded 450 people visited the Facemash and 22,000 photographs they open. Harvard parties know it and even internet connection is disconnected. Sued Zuckerberg for stealing data. This curly-haired young man was apologizing to colleagues who entered her picture in Facemash. But he did not regret their actions it. "I think such information should be available (online)," he said.
Rather than give up he even made a new website with the name of Facebook (www.thefacebook.com). This website he launched in February 2004. Facebook is a refinement of Facemash. The goal remains as a place of meeting fellow Harvard students. In his explanation on the website now states that Facebook is a social tool to help people communicate more efficiently with colleagues, family, or coworkers. Facebook offers easy navigation for users. Each account owner has the space to hang his picture, his friends, network, and do other things like being able to send messages and so forth.

The high pressure makes Zuckerberg and his friends decided to open up a network for high school students (high school here) in September 2005. Soon, they also opened a network of office workers. This extraordinary busyness makes Zuckerberg will have to decide out of Harvard. "What I wanted was at hand. I do not want to have a diploma and then to work. In my opinion, work is only for people who are weak," he told the magazine Current.
