Facebook is turning ten --- A decade after Mark Zuckerberg founded the social networking site in his Harvard dorm room, it's the biggest show in town with more than a billion users worldwide.

Facebook's rapid growth has also introduced new concerns about privacy and online bullying. For some, the site has lost some of its luster.

Facebook was founded on February 4, 2004.
