Facebook, one of the biggest sites on earth, celebrated its 7th birthday on Friday (2/5/2011).
Over the years, this network has converted itself from a small University hub to a more than 500 million monthly active users. People spend almost half of their day on facebook supplying loads of embarrassing, funny, emotional, serious, SPAM messages as their status updates.
