or even created a Facebook account to socialize with
friends and family. We all owe this to a young billionaire/
entrepreneur who is currently the CEO of Facebook Inc,
Mark Zuckerburg.
Here are some interesting yet little known facts you
probably never knew about the 30 year old Social
Network “Hero”.
1. Where you wondering why blue was the choice color for
Facebook? Well, Mark is red and green color blind.
Meaning he sees more of blue than any other color. He
once reportedly said to ABC News, “Blue is the richest
