It was a huge hit: in 2 weeks, half of the schools in the Boston area began demanding a Facebook network. Zuckerberg immediately recruited his friends \u003Ca href=\"http://www.crunchbase.com/person/dustin-moskovitz\" title=\"Dustin Moskovitz\"\u003EDustin Moskovitz\u003C/a\u003E and \u003Ca href=\"/person/chris-hughes\" title=\"Chris Hughes\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003EChris Hughes\u003C/a\u003E to help build Facebook, and within four months, Facebook added 30 more college networks. \u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThe original idea for the term Facebook came from Zuckerberg\u0026#8217;s high school (Phillips Exeter Academy). The Exeter Face Book was passed around to every student as a way for students to get to know their classmates for the following year.
