When it comes to social networking, it's wise to put your best face forward. Facebook, the social networking juggernaut, lets users share information, post photos and videos, play games, and otherwise connect with one another through online profiles. Its Facebook Platform allows outside developers to build apps that integrate with Facebook. The site was launched in 2004 by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg as an online version of the Harvard Facebook. (The name comes from books of freshmen's faces, majors, and hometowns that are distributed to students.) Microsoft powers the site's Web search and provides its search ads. In 2012 Facebook filed papers for what's expected to be one of the largest IPOs in US history.
