http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_(directory)
A facebook is a printed or online directory found at American universities consisting of individuals' photographs and names. In particular, it denotes publications of this type distributed by university administrations at the start of the academic year with the intention of helping students get to know each other.
Colleges and universities in Canada often published official or unofficial books listing their students, faculty, or staff, together with pictures and limited biographical data.[1] By the early 2000s some facebooks were being published in news paper offering a number of new features, including password protection, more detailed information, more advanced indexing and searching, and the ability for people to upload and enter information and photographs.[1][2]
In early 2004, Mark Zuckerberg, a sophomore at Harvard University, created an unofficial online facebook at the website "thefacebook.com", the forerunner of theFacebook service, out of frustration that the university's official online facebook project was taking too long.[2] The development of a campus-wide facebook had previously been stalled by privacy concerns, many of which became prominent in November 2003 when Zuckerberg was accused of breaching security and violating copyrights and individual privacy. Zuckerberg had created a website, www.facemash.com, that used photos taken without authorization from Harvard House-based facebooks, using the photos in a system to rate the attractiveness of students.[3]
