simplyolat 1. Al Pacino was the first face on
Facebook.
For some reason, I assumed the
face that lived on the
Facebook header until 2007
was a poorly-executed
portrait of Mark Zuckerberg?
I'm dumb. It's actually a
young Al Pacino, for reasons
unclear. The logo was
created by Zuckerberg's friend
and classmate Andrew
McCollum.
2. 600,000 hacking attempts
are made to Facebook
accounts every day.
What do hackers attempt to do

activity: updating your friend's
status to say "I'M A
HUGE POOPHEAD.")

networking is making it way
easier to track down
former flames and
communicate with potential
new
flings.
5. More than 1 billion people
access Facebook on a
mobile device on a monthly

the people on planet Earth.
Also, Facebook has more
monthly users (1.28 billion)
than India has people (1.24
billion).
6. People have been murdered
for unfriending
someone on Facebook.
In 2012, a Tennessee man
fatally shot a couple who
had unfriended his 30-year-old
daughter on the social
network. weird right
7. Facebook tracks which sites
you visit, even after
you've signed out.
8. For a fee, you can message
people and have it go
directly to their inbox, skipping
that pesky "Other"
folder that no one ever checks.
9. One in three Facebook users
reported that they felt
worse after visiting the site.
10. Facebook is blue because
Mark Zuckerberg suffers
from red-green colorblindness.
11. Someday there will be more

Facebook than living ones.

Facebook’s URL will
automatically direct you to Mark
Zuckerberg’s wall.
