10 things you never knew about Facebook

1. The Facebook logo is blue because of founder Mark Zuckerberg’s

3. The original Facebook website had an image of a man’s face on it. Dubbed the "Facebook guy" it was recently revealed that the photo was actually Hollywood legend Al Pacino.
4. On average, users spend 20 minutes per day on Facebook. If you want to know just how many hours you’ve wasted on the social site, there’s even a calculator that will work it out.
