Facebook was launched six years ago by Mark Zuckerberg and his roommates at Harvard University. 

“Facebook began six years ago today as a product that my roommates and I built to help people around us connect easily, share information and understand one another better,” Zuckerberg said.

“People around the world are using the service to share information about events big and small and to stay connected to everyone they care about.”

Last year, Facebook replaced MySpace last year as America’s top online social network.

If you are still unsure about the power and effect of social media – think again. It’s not going to go away. Marketing has changed and social networking is here to stay. It’s time to engage with your customers, to listen instead of broadcast, and join in before you get left behind your competitors.
