Here's a little history lesson about Facebook. Firstly, the term "Facebook" is older than you think. The former private school of founder Mark Zuckerberg had a student directory, which worked like a yearbook - names with a face above it. Students took to calling it the Face Book; similarly, in the opening scene, the various houses of Harvard have their own Face Books. Facebook itself began in 2003 as Facemash, where Zuckerberg hacked private student IDs to get girls' photos that he would then email to classmates to rate in terms of appearance.
Yes, the world's most popular social networking website started out as a Hot or Not competition. We've come so far.
