Facebook Turns 10: Things We Couldn't Do Without Facebook
Facebook Is 10! Here's What We Couldn't Do Without The Site
The Huffington Post Canada
For those of you who remember first creating a Facebook account in the early 2000s, it's time to understand exactly what a decade means β today, Facebook celebrates its 10th birthday.
The idea that started in a Harvard University dorm room has now turned into one of the world's most consumed social media sites for hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Whether it's reconnecting with childhood friends, ranting on your wall or dealing with the number of design changes the site has made year after year, it just makes sense to celebrate this site that truly has changed how we live our lives.
But for the public, we've realized there's a lot we couldn't do without Facebook, from making connections to posting photos to playing addictive games. So now, instead of the the usual cake, candles and birthday cards, we've rounded up some GIFS to honour its lasting impact.
