Remember when I joined a Facebook , in mid-2005. A friend had gone to Santa Cruz exchange and I recommended him to keep in touch. At that time, Facebook records only accepted through e-mail from universities USA , with some honorable exceptions in other countries (including the university where I studied). It was ancient history, when the most you could do was upload photos or writing on the wall of a contact .
In six years, Facebook went from being an exclusive network of academics to be social network world’s most popular. In September 2006, Mark Zuckerberg gave the announcement that would change the interaction in the network: Facebook would be available to anyone. Although initially, the exclusivity of Facebook was one of the qualities for which the user would prefer this social network to another as MySpace (or Hi5, remember?), Caught the opening attention. Today, Facebook has more than 400 million users .

The evolution of privacy in the social network shows how Facebook has become the new cabinet, our letter. Those were the days, back in the distant 2005, when what was happening in Facebook remained in Facebook !
