Class="nodetitle">Facebook

TheFacebook.com (or now just Facebook.com) is a website that functions as a social networking tool and online directory that works in a similar fashion to friendster, tribe, or myspace, but was created specifically for students. The website was originally created for colleges and universities, but now has expanded to high schools. Facebook.com currently supports almost all major colleges (with several exception for various reasons), Booking and most minor colleges as well. It was launched to the public on Wednesday, February 4th, 2004. The site was founded by Mark Zuckerberg and press relations are handled by Chris Hughes.

How theFacebook works:
Users register using their e-mail addresses provided by their school. This helps to ensure that they are not fabricating a student at a school they do not attend. Troll accounts for social networking tools would ruin the point completely.
