www.facebook.com Facebook  is a  social networking service  and website launched in February 2004, operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. [1]  As of February 2012 [update] , Facebook has more than 845 million active users. [5]  Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends". The name of the service stems from the  colloquial name for the book  given to students at the start of the academic year by some university administrations in the United States to help students get to know each other. Facebook allows any users who declare themselves to be at least 13 years old to become registered users of the site. [6] Facebook was founded by  Mark Zuckerberg  with his college roommates and fellow students  Eduardo Saverin ,  Dustin Moskovitz  and  Chris Hughes . [7]  The Web site's membership was initially limited by the founders to  Harvard  students, but was expanded to other colleges in the  Boston  area, the  Ivy League , and  Stanford University . It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and over. However, based on ConsumersReports.org in May 2011, there are 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts, violating the site's terms of service.

[5] Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users can upload an unlimited number of videos.

www.picasa.google.com Picasa  is an  image organizer  and  image viewer  for organizing and editing  digital photos , plus an integrated  photo-sharing   website , originally created by a company named Lifescape [2]  (which at that time may have resided at  Idealab ) in 2002 and owned by  Google  since 2004. [3]  "Picasa" is a  blend  of the name of Spanish painter  Pablo Picasso , the phrase  mi casa  for "my house", and "pic" for pictures (personalized art). [3] [4]  In July 2004, Google acquired Picasa and began offering it as a  free download . [3] Native applications for  Windows XP ,  Windows Vista ,  Windows 7  and  Mac OS X  (Intel only) are available through  Google Labs . For  Linux , Google has bundled  Wine  with the Windows version to create an installation package rather than write a native  Linux  version, but this version is severely out of date (the latest Windows version, however, can be run with  Wine , see Linux section). There is also an  iPhoto  plugin or a standalone program for uploading photos available for Mac OS X 10.4 and later. Original author(s) Lifescape, Inc.

Skype  (  / ˈskaɪp / ) is a proprietary  voice-over-Internet Protocol  service and  software application  originally created by  Niklas Zennström , and owned by  Microsoft  since 2011. The service allows users to communicate with peers by voice, video, and  instant messaging  over the Internet. Phone calls may be placed to recipients on the traditional telephone networks. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free of charge, while calls to  landline telephones  and  mobile phones  are charged via a  debit -based user account system. Skype has also become popular for its additional features, including  file transfer , and  videoconferencing . Competitors include  SIP  and  H.323 -based services, such as  Empathy ,  Linphone ,  Ekiga   [4]  as well as the  Google Talk  service. Skype has 663 million registered users as of September 2011. [5]  The network is operated by  Microsoft , which has its Skype division headquarters in  Luxembourg . Most of the development team and 44% of the overall employees of the division are situated in the offices of  Tallinn  and  Tartu ,  Estonia . [6] [7] [8] Unlike most  VoIP  services, Skype is a hybrid  peer-to-peer  and  client–server  system, and makes use of  background processing  on computers running Skype software; the original name proposed – Sky peer-to-peer – reflects this. Some network administrators have banned Skype on corporate, [9]  government, home, and education networks, [10]  citing reasons such as inappropriate usage of resources, excessive bandwidth usage, [11]  and security concerns. www.skype.com Skype 5.6 running on  Windows 7 Developer(s) Microsoft Skype Division Initial release August 2003 (2003-08) Stable release 5.8.0.154 (Windows)   (2 February 2012; 10 days ago (2012-02-02) [1] ) 5.5.0.2340 (Mac OS X)   (2 February 2012; 10 days ago (2012-02-02) [2] ) 3.6.1 (iOS)   (3 January 2012; 40 days ago (2012-01-03)) 2.2.0.35 (Linux)   (2 June 2011; 8 months ago (2011-06-02)) 2.6.0.95 (Android)   (16 December 2011; 58 days ago (2011-12-16) [3] )  [ ± ] Preview release None   [ ± ] Written in Embarcadero Delphi ,  Objective-C  ( iOS ,  Mac OS X ),  C++  with  Qt4  ( Linux ) Operating system Cross-platform Available in Multilingual Type Voice over Internet Protocol ,  instant messaging ,  videoconferencing License Proprietary , some paid features Website www.skype.com

The  World Wide Web  (abbreviated as  WWW  or  W3 , [2]  and commonly known as  the Web ) is a  system  of interlinked  hypertext  documents accessed via the  Internet . With a  web browser , one can view  web pages  that may contain text, images, videos, and other  multimedia , and  navigate  between them via  hyperlinks . Using concepts from his earlier hypertext systems like  ENQUIRE ,  British   engineer  and  computer scientist   Sir Tim Berners-Lee , now Director of the  World Wide Web Consortium  (W3C), wrote a proposal in March 1989 for what would eventually become the World Wide Web. [1]  At  CERN , a European research organization near  Geneva  situated on Swiss and French soil, [3]  Berners-Lee and Belgian computer scientist  Robert Cailliau  proposed in 1990 to use hypertext "... to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will", [4]  and they publicly introduced the project in December. [5] The Web's historic logo designed by  Robert Cailliau Inventor Tim Berners-Lee [1] Launch year 1991 Company CERN Availability Worldwide

With a web browser , one can view web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia , and navigate between them via hyperlinks . Using concepts from his earlier hypertext systems like ENQUIRE , British engineer and computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee , now Director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), wrote a proposal in March 1989 for what would eventually become the World Wide Web. [1] At CERN , a European research organization near Geneva situated on Swiss and French soil, [3] Berners-Lee and Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau proposed in 1990 to use hypertext "... to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will", [4] and they publicly introduced the project in December.
