When did the website "Facebook" launch?

Facebook launched on February 4, 2004, initially as a social networking service exclusively for Harvard University students. Mark Zuckerberg, along with his college roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes, developed this website to connect Harvard students online. The success and popularity of Facebook among Harvard students led to its expansion to other universities and eventually to the general public, turning it into the global social media platform we know today. Thus, 2004 marks the inception of Facebook and its journey toward becoming a worldwide phenomenon.
