When Zuckerberg started it with friends at Harvard, it was meant to be a service for college students. But by 2007, when he was on TODAY with Vieira, he was spreading the message that Facebook was now for everyone.
At the time, he had 25 million members and was talking about doubling that. Friday, he was talking about seven times that number and telling Lauer that Facebook is adding a million members a week in the United States alone.
Facebook had to back down on policy changes earlier this month after users complained.
When the service was college-based, it was cool to be a member. Lauer asked if it can still be cool when a kid-built site is attracting members who might be their parents and grandparents. Or, as Lauer put it, Can I be cool if I have a Facebook page?
It would be cool if you dont have a Facebook page, Zuckerberg shot back, laughing at his own joke.
