Facebook Expands to Include More People

27 Sep, 2006, 11:00 am IST | by Reuters | Windows

Social-networking Web site Facebook said on Tuesday it has expanded to enable anyone with a valid email address to join the service. Previously, a supported '.edu', '.com', '.org', '.gov' or '.mil' email address was needed to register on Facebook.

"We are expanding to respond to the requests of millions of people who want to be part of Facebook, but haven't been able to until today," Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook said in a statement. Facebook said it has launched additional privacy controls with the expansion. The Wall Street Journal reported on Sept. 21 that Facebook was in talks to sell itself to Internet media company Yahoo Inc. for an amount that could approach $1 billion.
