Mark Zuckerberg developed Facebook, when he was still studying in Harvard. He did so for the sole purpose of communicating and sharing among students in the university. Anyone with a university email ID was qualified to join. However, due to its wide and immediate success, the community invited Ivy League schools in. This again was a big hit, so in September 11, 2006, it was opened to everyone, not only to students, but to people who already worked as well.
