Therefore, to refresh my mind i start search on something different like amazing things etc. and eventually i got something very cool! which make me amazed. I got some very interesting and amazing facts about the blue guy Facebook.
Facebook is the world's very popular website with the 2nd alexa rank and have over 1 billion+ active users from all over the world.
Ten years ago from now, a college guy named Mark Zuckerberg on the 24th feb, 2004 formed a new social media called Facebook with the aim of connecting people of the world. At the start the students of Harvard University can only become member of facebook but after sometime it expanded to other universities and eventually it became public.
In the first year of its creation it accumulated over 50 millions active users.
Let's take a look on the interesting facebook facts: ;-)
Why facebook uses Blue color
The reason of use of Blue color by facebook is due to color blindness of the Mark zuckerberg. Yes, the founder of the Facebook Mark Zuckerberg is red-green color blind.
In the words of the Mark:-
"Blue is the richest color for me, I can see all of blue"
Mark is color blind and that is the reason why facebook is Blue.
Mark Zuckerberg wear T-shirts only
Zuckerberg wears only grey T-shirts and he is not interested in different styles and colors of shirts. He dresses up and wear Tie very rarely.Mark wears T-shirts only because he disturbed to much from school uniform. During the interview when he asked that why he wear T-shirts, he answered that he was forced to wear boarding school uniform for a long time.
