It was the winter of 1996; Netscape's public offering, several months earlier, had ignited the dotcom craze, and co-founder Andreessen had just appeared on Time's cover, sitting on a throne, feet bare -- the very portrait of a cocky 24-year-old tech wunderkind.Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:43:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/biztech/06/30/wired.facebook.zuckerberg/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/biztech/06/30/wired.facebook.zuckerberg/index.html#cnnSTCTextBack in April, I interviewed Mark Zuckerberg as part of my research for Wired's Great Wall of Facebook piece.Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:12:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2009/06/25/technology/founding_of_facebook.fortune/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2009/06/25/technology/founding_of_facebook.fortune/index.htmBest-selling author Ben Mezrich is the first to concede he doesn't know exactly what happened between Mark Zuckerberg and the Victoria's Secret model at that San Francisco club in the summer of 2005. He tells the story just as sources reported it to him: a touch on the leg. A grasp of the hand. The pair leaving the club. That's it.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on the cover of FORTUNE (dressed in a tie, no less) and shared with us his plans to turn Facebook into the next digital communications platform. Soon thereafter he landed on Oprah Winfrey's couch to offer a tutorial on the site he'd initially built four years ago. In March the company launched a redesign that a vocal group of users roundly criticized. A few weeks after that chief financial officer Gideon Yu resigned unexpectedly, prompting bloggers to speculate that the company must be readying itself for a public offering.Wed, 15 Apr 2009 15:30:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/04/08/facebook.good.charity/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/04/08/facebook.good.charity/index.html#cnnSTCTextWe knew Facebook was about to hit 200 million active users, but now it's official, per a post Wednesday by founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg on the company's official blog.Thu, 09 Apr 2009 16:23:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2009/03/13/technology/zuckerberg_on_oprah.fortune/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2009/03/13/technology/zuckerberg_on_oprah.fortune/index.htmAnybody tuning in to Oprah Winfrey on Friday afternoon, March 13 learned at least three things about Mark Zuckerberg, 24 year-old founder and CEO of Facebook: He looks a lot like his father (the bearded man in the audience close-up). He's not interested in dating Gayle King's daughter, a 22 year-old Stanford grad (King: "She's smart!"). And he can take a poke or two - virtually and otherwise.Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:17:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2009/02/16/technology/hempel_facebook.fortune/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2009/02/16/technology/hempel_facebook.fortune/index.htmFacebook held no appeal for Peter Lichtenstein.

Not on Facebook, the site she joined in March as COO and where she boasts 1,114 "friends." No, she's doing it the old-fashioned way, in her Atherton, Calif., living room. She hosts her Silicon Valley soirees a few times a year, and it's always the A-list crowd. On this particular evening the group includes the new head of eBay North America, the manager of Google's ad-selling platforms, and well-known tech bankers and venture capitalists. It's a high-wattage, high-powered group.

Long story short: The revolution hasn't panned out. Six months later, advertisers could be forgiven for mistaking Facebook for a smaller MySpace or a much larger Friendster (remember them?). And far from changing media as we know it, the virtual home of Superpokes, Funwalls, and other such time wasters is showing cracks in its foundation.Tue, 13 May 2008 12:02:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2008/05/09/technology/microsoft_facebook.fortune/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2008/05/09/technology/microsoft_facebook.fortune/index.htmWhen Microsoft walked away from its blockbuster bid for Yahoo, the media sought desperately to keep the news coming even when there wasn't much left to say.

It succeeded - horribly. Within days of its launch, hordes of users at the then-superhot social network discovered the app, added it to their profiles, and communicated it to their friends. It spread like a case of Ebola at the Super Bowl. Within a month Shen and Tokuda had 100,000 users, and traffic was doubling every 24 hours.Thu, 23 Aug 2007 11:31:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1646696,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1646696,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsThe owners of a rival social networking Web site are trying to shut down Facebook.com, charging in a federal lawsuit that Facebook's founder stole their ideas while they were students at HarvardWed, 25 Jul 2007 16:15:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2007/07/25/technology/facebook.reut/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2007/07/25/technology/facebook.reut/index.htmA U.S. judge Wednesday gave a group of former Harvard students two weeks to finalize and back up their claim that Facebook Inc.'s founder stole their ideas to create the fast-growing social networking Web site.Wed, 25 Jul 2007 11:15:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1644040,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1644040,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsCEO Mark Zuckerberg talks about the web giant's plans for expansion and clears up those IPO rumorsMon, 23 Jul 2007 16:20:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2007/05/24/technology/facebook.fortune/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2007/05/24/technology/facebook.fortune/index.htmImagine that when you shopped online for a digital camera, you could see whether anyone you knew already owned it and ask them what they thought.
