Facebook Turns 6, reaches 400M Members

Four years ago in a dorm room at Harvard U, Mark Zuckerberg started a little project. Six years later, the little project has become a world wide phenomena. A technology empire that may now be comparable to Google and Microsoft.

The rise of Facebook is best show in the graph below.

Facebook, six years after its inception, has become too big - members has double in less than a year from 200M skyrocketing to 400M today. Facebook also has become too invasive at some point that it constantly deals with security and privacy issues where personal data of a quarter of the web user population is held.

Where is Facebook heading? Has it reached the threshold yet, a crash and burn soon? Or further rise where no other tech companies has been before?

As it turns 6, Facebook did a redesign of it's homepage. Below is something new for it's birthday.
