Unless you are coming from Mars, you must have
heard or even created a Facebook account to
socialize with friends and family. We all owe this to
a young billionaire/entrepreneur who is currently
the CEO of Facebook Inc, Mark Zuckerburg.
Here are some interesting yet little known facts
you probably never knew about the 30 year old
Social Network “Hero”.

1. Where you wondering why blue was the choice
color for Facebook? Well, Mark is red and green
color blind. Meaning he sees more of blue than any
other color. He once reportedly said to ABC News,
“Blue is the richest color for me. I can see all of
blue.”
2. He got job offers when he was still in high school
from both AOL and Microsoft after he created
Synapse, a program that used artificial intelligence
to learn users’ music-listening habits.
3. Mark Zuckerberg’s interest in programming was
actually triggered by his parents after they gifted
him the book C++ for Dummies.
4. He invented Facemash in 2003. A program that
he created for finding out who the most attractive
person on campus was, and that was a year before
creating facebook. The domain Facemash.com was
later sold in 2010 for $30201.
5. You can’t block Mark on facebook.
6. He started Facebook with the domain
TheFacebook.com on February 4th, 2004. It was
actually meant for university grads back then, but
was thrown open to the public in 2006.
7. In Facebook’s early days, Mark used to hand out
a business card that read “I’m CEO B***h”.
8. He owns a Hungarian sheepdog named Beast,
who has a Facebook page with 1.5 million fans.
9. When Mark applied into Harvard University, he
listed French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek as
languages he could read and write.
10. Mark started learning Mandarin-Chinese in
2010 to be able to communicate with his girl
friend’s (Chan) family since they were Chinese.
11. He got married to Chan on May 19, 2012 in the
backyard of the newlyweds’ Palo Alto, Calif., home.
12. By July 2011, Zuckerberg became the most-
followed user on Google’s social network Google+,
overtaking Google co-founders Larry Page and
Sergey Brin.
13. You can find Mark on Twitter @finkd with over
300K followers as at time of post and just 19
tweets.
14. Zuckerberg considers himself an atheist.
15. He has remained a Vegetarian since 2011.
16. His favorite musicians include Daft Punk, Lady
Gaga, Shakira and Rihanna.
17. He became the world’s youngest billionaire at
the age of 23 in 2008 according to a Forbes
estimate. Then, he was ranked 785 on the World’s
Billionaires list.
18. His full name is Mark Elliot Zuckerberg and he
was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New
York into a comfortable, well-educated family.

Nairaland actually started in the same era with facebook...

For The Second Time This Week,
I ask myself Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?
I was at My Mum's Restaurant today, When Two Beautiful Girls
Walked In,
They kept staring abi Admiring me I thought,
Before I Could Say "EBOLA VIRUS", the Fair one looked
towards my Direction and Shouted ; Okon you think you can
Use me and Dump Me?
I was shocked, When did I become Okon,?, I asked myself,
Trust Women, she kept Ranting and abusing me,
Anyway to cut the Long Story short,
I look like Okon her Ex-Boyfriend in Uyo.
She EvenApologised,
So why i am Here In Port-Harcourt Winning Souls,
Okon my Look-alike is in Uyo breaking Hearts.
Chai!!!
There Is God.
