When it comes to social networking, it's wise to put your best face forward. Facebook is the latest star of the online social networking craze. Users post photos and information about themselves and connect with one another through online profiles. The site was launched in 2004 by Harvard undergraduate 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.) It began by connecting students, but later opened its service to the general public. Microsoft powers the site's Web search and provides its search ads. Investors include Goldman Sachs and investment group Digital Sky Technologies (DST).
