On January 15, 2001, the Wikipedia project was launched - a free, open, multilingual universal Internet encyclopedia implemented on Wiki principles.
The name of the encyclopedia is derived from the English words wiki (wiki, the technology underlying the functioning of the site; in turn, it is borrowed from the Hawaiian language, in which it means "quickly") and encyclopedia (encyclopedia).
The main feature of the Wikipedia Internet encyclopedia (thanks to the wiki technology that underlies the functioning of the site) is that anyone who follows the Wikipedia rules for the Internet can create and edit its articles, and in the vast majority of cases even without registering on the encyclopedia's website. All changes made by such volunteers to any article in this encyclopedia immediately become visible to all visitors to the site.

Mark Zuckerberg (05/14/1984) began work on Thefacebook in January 2004, registering thefacebook.com domain on the 11th. Thefacebook itself was launched on February 4, 2004. Then it was a social network exclusively for Harvard students.
In the first 24 hours of the existence of the site on thefacebook.com registered more than a thousand people. And a month later, more than half of university students had their own page on the site.
“The” from the site’s name disappeared in 2005 after the company acquired the Facebook.com domain for fabulous money - $ 200,000. In September of that year, the possibility of registration appeared for students of US high schools, however, then for this it was necessary to receive an invitation from one of the already registered participants. Then the circle expanded to employees of some companies, for example, Apple and Microsoft.
September 26, 2006 was one of the most important milestones in the history of the project: the site opened the registration for everyone who has a working e-mail address. Only the age limit remained - 13 years. Since then, both the site and the company have been actively developing, and huge investments in the world's most popular social network have only proved this.
In October 2008, Facebook’s international headquarters moved from Silicon Valley to Irish Dublin.
In September 2009, the company first made a profit from the site.
