		According to the official story, TheFaceBook was founded by 3 students from the CIA's favorite breeding ground of Harvard University.
		While pretending to be a harmless and fun service, TheFaceBook is a dark foray into psychological profiling, where the cryptocracy wants to know every detail of your life and track your location at every moment.

		Thefacebook, created and maintained by a small group of Harvard students, was opened to the public on Feb. 4, 2004.

		But whether thefacebook is a great way to find new friends or a great way to waste time, it continues to gain popularity on the UA campus.

	Google Lining Up to Buy TheFaceBook
		Just the other day TheFaceBook got blogosphere's attention by pulling a Google like move and turned down an offer of $750 million and said they were holding out for $2 billion.
		In my opinion, this would be an odd move for Google, who already owns and operates Orkut, not only do they already seem to have a pretty good foot into the college market with its Gmail, Blogger, and their association with FireFox, but as John recently pointed out the college student demographic is highly overvalued.
		Not only does this demographic have very little disposable income but TheFaceBook's audience turns over every 4 years and probably moves onto MySpace where there is no restriction to '.edu' only email addresses.
