2003
Mark Zuckerberg launches Facemash, Harvard's version of "Hot or Not." The contentious site drew criticism for putting photos of students side-by-side and asking users to choose who was more attractive. FaceMash reportedly drew 450 visitors and 22,000 page views during its first evening online.
2004
Version 1.0 of "thefacebook" goes live from Zuckerberg's college dorm room with co-founders Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes, and Eduardo Saverin behind the launch. The Facebook "Wall," now a staple of the social network, also makes its debut. By the end of the year, the social network claimed one million users at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and Columbia.
2005
Zuck drops "the" from the company name after snatching the URL Facebook.com for $200,000. That same year, Facebook expands beyond colleges to high schools and goes international. Number of users as of May: over 5.5 million.
2006
The social network opens itself up to anyone with an email address and introduces the News Feed, a list highlighting what users are up to. Investor Peter Thiel pegs Facebook's worth at a whopping $8 billion, and Facebook supposedly turns down a $1 billion bid from Yahoo. Number of users: over 12 million.
2007
The Facebook Platform launches, allowing third parties to develop on top of it. "We want to make Facebook into something of an operating system so you can run full applications," Zuckerberg told Fortune at the time. The failed ad system Beacon launches and gets flack for publishing users' activities on partnered sites. Number of users as of May: over 24 million.
2008
Facebook co-sponsors the Presidential Debates with ABC News that January, and Facebook Chat -- an instant messenger for the social set -- goes live.
2009
Zuckerberg pays nearly $50 million to buy FriendFeed, an online activity aggregator, and also tests out "Facebook Lite," a leaner version of the social network. By the end of the year, Facebook has 350 million-plus active users.
2010
Zuckerberg sweats it out onstage over privacy questions at AllThingsD's D8 conference, so much so that he takes off his trademark hooded sweatshirt. He also donates $100 million to the Newark Public School System. "The Social Network" premieres, racking accolades with its compelling, if not-so-accurate depiction, of Facebook's humble beginings. Number of users: over 500 million.
2011
Saturday Night Live comedian Andy Samberg impersonates Zuckerberg onstage at Facebook's f8 conference before the CEO introduces a radical Profile redesign called Timeline. Zuckerberg also makes headlines when Fortune reports he aimed to eat "only what he kills."
2012
Zuckerberg negotiates Facebook's largest acquisition yet: the $1 billion purchase of popular photo-sharing mobile app Instagram. Oh yeah, the social network also goes public.
2003年 这一年，马克•扎克伯格创办了哈佛（Harvard）版的“Hot or Not”（译注：Hot or Not是美国的一家交友网站）——Facemash。该网站并列粘贴学生照片，让访客选出最具吸引力的一位，这种颇具争议的做法引发了批评。据报道，FaceMash上线第一晚便吸引了450名访客和22,000页面浏览量。 2004年 | 2003 Mark Zuckerberg launches Facemash, Harvard's version of "Hot or Not."

2004年，扎克伯格在大学宿舍里创办了“thefacebook”1.0版，联合创办者还包括达斯汀•莫斯科维茨、克里斯•休斯和爱德华多•萨维林。同一年，Facebook的“涂鸦墙”也同时亮相，目前已近成为社交网络的主流。据称，截至2004年底，该社交网络在哈佛（Harvard）、斯坦福（Stanford）、耶鲁（Yale）和哥伦比亚大学（Columbia）的用户人数达到100万。 2005年 | Version 1.0 of "thefacebook" goes live from Zuckerberg's college dorm room with co-founders Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes, and Eduardo Saverin behind the launch.

2005年，扎克伯格以20万美元的价格买到Facebook.com域名，并将公司名称“thefacebook”中的“the”去掉。同一年，Facebook走出大学校园，开始向高中生和国际市场扩张。截至当年5月份，它的用户人数超过550万。 2006年 Facebook社交网络开始向公众开放，用户通过电子邮件即可注册，同时推出“好友动态”服务，可以显示用户们正在忙些什么。投资家皮特•泰尔表示，Facebook的市值将达到惊人的80亿美元。此外，据称雅虎（Yahoo）开出了10亿美元的收购价，但遭到Facebook拒绝。当年用户人数：超过1,200万。 | Zuck drops "the" from the company name after snatching the URL Facebook.com for $200,000.

2007年 Facebook平台发布，支持第三方在平台上开发应用。当时，扎克伯格在接受《财富》杂志（Fortune）采访时表示：“我们希望将Facebook设计成某种操作系统，用户可以在上面运行各种各样的应用程序。”同一年，公司推出了颇具争议的广告系统灯塔（Beacon），但因在合作伙伴网站上公布用户的活动而饱受争议，最终被迫关闭。截至当年5月份用户人数：超过2,400万。 2008年 一月份，Facebook与美国广播公司（ABC）新闻频道共同赞助总统大选辩论，同一年，启动即时通信服务Facebook Chat。 2009年 | 2007 The Facebook Platform launches, allowing third parties to develop on top of it.

扎克伯格以约5,000万美元的价格收购在线社交聚合网站FriendFeed，并测试Facebook的精简版本——“Facebook Lite”。截至年底，Facebook活跃用户超过了3.5亿。 2010年 这一年，在AllThingsD的D8大会上，因为网站的隐私问题，扎克伯格被追问得满头大汗，甚至脱掉了他标志性的连帽T恤衫。他还向纽瓦克公立学校系统（Newark public school system）捐赠1亿美元。同年，电影《社交媒体》（The Social Network）首映。电影追溯了Facebook的草创时期，虽然情节并不一定准确，但还是引人入胜，并获得了人们的赞赏。当年用户人数：超过5亿。 2011年 2011年的Facebook f8开发者大会上，“周六夜现场”（Saturday Night Live）喜剧演员安迪•萨姆伯格助兴，模仿扎克伯格。岁后，扎克伯格推出了全新改版的时间线（Timeline）。同年，《财富》杂志报道，扎克伯格只吃“自己宰杀的动物肉类”，之后扎克伯格屡屡因此登上媒体头条。 2012年 扎克伯格推动Facebook完成了史上规模最大的一笔收购：以10亿美元收购了人气火爆的照片分享移动应用Instagram。当然，Facebook今年最大的事情莫过于正式上市。 翻译/审校：阿龙/汪皓 | Zuckerberg pays nearly $50 million to buy FriendFeed, an online activity aggregator, and also tests out "Facebook Lite," a leaner version of the social network.
