Details of Some World famous websites

While I was thinking what should I post on the blog, I got a idea to create my 2nd post with details of some world famous websites. This is actually not a idea came suddenly. Last Friday, while we were in a Lecture at SLIIT, the lecturer asked some questions about founders of some famous favorite websites and the students who answered correctly were given some CDs as gifts. And the true incident is that, I was not aware about any of those questions. You will think that they are that much difficult. No, They were some simple questions like "Who is Mark Zuckerburg?" . Actually who is that? He is the founder of Facebook. I was very ashamed as I had never heard of it. My fault.

So after I came home and turned on my laptop and connected my newly bought Prolink PHS 100 3.5G USB dongle and searched the internet about the things the lecturer asked. With that I got to know many things about some favorite sites around the internet. Here, I'm going to list some details I found.
