Facebook Turns 10 Today
Mark Zukerburg launched his vision for connecting the world on this day in 2004. "thefacebook", as it was called when it started, was a way for Harvard University students to easily meet or"connect" to other students.
Fast forward 10 years and 1.2 billion registered users later and you have the social media super giant -Facebook. CEO Mark Zukerburg is only 29. He's a billionaire personally. His company at this moment, according to Bloomberg, is siting on over 16 Billion dollars in cash. Not bad.for a 10 year old. I had 100 one dollar bills when I was 10.
He sat down with NBC's Today to talk about the highs and lows...
