The origins of facebook

Facebook is an online social site, it is probably the largest in the world. It is free so virtually everyone can access it.

Facebook was started by Mark Zuckerberg while he was studying at Harvard University. It was a hobby of his and with some funding from Eduardo Saverin he managed to get it running.Within months the ideas behind Facebook had spread to other dorms Harvard, and it turned out to be a great success. It also spread to Standford and Yale, with similar results to Harvard. Sooner or later he was joined by Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes both Harvard students. A little later they dropped out of college to persue their dream of running facebook fulltime. Then they officialy named thefacebook Facebook and brought the domain name Facebook.com for $200,000.

Although now everyone can access facebook, when it started you had to be a member of a recognised school or college in order to create an account, meaning that there were less users then there are now. Facebook's net worth is estimated at around $4billion!

Grandma's letter.

Here is a really funny joke

She is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car.

She writes:

Dear Grand-daughter,

The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a
Honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy
that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance,
followed by a thunderous prayer meeting.

So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

Boy, am I glad I did, what an uplifting experience that followed.

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in
thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the
light had changed.

It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't
honked, I'd never have noticed.

I found that lots of people love Jesus!

While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy,
and then he leaned out of his window and sc reamed,

'For the love of God!'

'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'

What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!

Everyone started honking!

I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those
loving people.

I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him
yelling something about a sunny beach.

I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger
stuck up in the air.

I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.

He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.

Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window
and gave him the good luck sign right back

My grandson burst out laughing.

Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that
they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.

I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is
when I noticed the light had changed.

So, I waved at all my brothers and sisters grinning, and drove on
through the intersection

I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection
before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave
them after all the love we had shared.

So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the
Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!

Will write again soon,

Love, Grandma
