> Did non-techies hear about Facebook in the first 2 years of its existence? Every single human attending Harvard in 2005 heard of thefacebook, and almost all of them were active users. This pattern continued as it expanded to other colleges, and eventually high schools. Facebook had a steady, population-representative mix of non-technical users from birth; it was never techies'-little-secret in the way that Twitter, Foursquare, and Quora were. Warning: I work at Facebook now, but did not back then. This is just my second-hand understanding.
