How Long Has You Been on Facebook?

I was just trying to clean up my Facebook page and choosing some Halloween images to use. I found that I have been on Facebook since April of 2014. It made me wonder how long others have been. Do you even have a Facebook account? Have you been on it lately? I went on it originally to stay in touch with my granddaughter and just stayed on since I had made some other friends. It can be fun.

My Facebook account has been in existence from the very moment they opened it in public and my son was just two years old then. That was in 2006. There were only a few users then, mostly Americans.

Interesting. It surprises me to learn that it's been around since February of 2004.

@celticeagle Yeah only in the US when it was created by Mark when he was a student with another friend. In 2009, Facebook was just so simple. Just like twitter.

In the last year I've lost access to my facebook account. But, I'd have to say since the early days. Not long after it became public I guess. So for a bit now.

@celticeagle Yeah, and I think it went public (as in the public could use it) around 2006, I joined around 2007 or 2008.

I'm not sure where to find out, but I know it's at least been after I graduated high school, and that was 2006

I joined many years ago to use the messenger to speak to my family and friends who are all abroad. It was when Barack was President

@celticeagle everything else about FB is a shrug. And NOT posting political stuff is survival
