When it was created 18 years ago today, few people thought Facebook would grow to be the biggest social media site on earth with over 2 billion users.

Amazingly in just one night, Zuckerberg published FaceMash – a website that allowed users to directly compare the attractiveness of female students and rank which one they preferred.
