In 2007 Mark and his other cofounder moved to California where they rented a house and had an office inside. On July 21, 2010 Facebook reached it's 500 million member mark and still continues to grow at a rapid pace. Zuckerberg is one of the most influential people of the twentieth century during the "informational age". Facebook is an incredible website that allows people across the country and the world keep in constant contact. Although it may sound amazing it also has some big downfalls. In order to keep up the fast growing internet, the userface is constantly changing making users have to relearn the website. This constant change frustrates users and forces them to change their site in order to stay on facebook. However it is a very easy website to use with many tools to help you navigate. There is multiple settings for the site that allow people to control what things get posted and what things do not. Facebook will continue to change with the times and will also continue to grow as more and more of the younger generation start to use computers. Mark Zuckerberg is a pioneer in social media we design and will always be remembered.
