Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, aimed to create the most applicable and practical Web tool in the world. He and a friend developed a software program called Synapse. Microsoft and other tech companies offered close to $1 million for the software program. Also offering Mark to forgo college and come to work for them. Mark declined and instead enrolled at Harvard. By 2004 his sophomore year he had launched Facebook.com. Its user base of over half a billion makes an increasing rate of about $25 million a month. Facebook has generated a remarkable mass that appeal that spans countries, generations, and cultures. This genius idea has made Mark Zuckerberg one of the youngest billionaires in the nation.
