Facebook clocks fifth birthday

Facebook is giving its 150 million users a mystery virtual gift to celebrate its fifth birthday.
The gift shop's presents usually range from cuddly bears to a pint of beer and from champagne to a four-leaf clover.
Founder Mark Zuckerberg said, "In the spirit of celebrating connections between people, we encourage you to use this gift to give thanks to [those] you are connected with on Facebook."
In the battle for online friends, Facebook is now the world leader.
In a blog post, Mr Zuckerberg acknowledged the company's work in achieving its place as the biggest social network to date.
"Building and moving quickly for five years hasn't been easy, and we aren't finished.
"As we celebrate Facebook's 5th birthday, we continue to work hard to evolve Facebook and make it as simple as possible to communicate with and understand the people and entities that matter to you," wrote Mr Zuckerberg.
In the blog he has also taken a trip down memory lane and shared old images of how the site has changed since it was launched in 2004.
