The Evolution of Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Profile

Oh, how you've changed, Mark Zuckerberg.

Over the years, the head of Facebook has shaken up his site with various redesigns. Sometimes, it was little things, like being able to "Poke" people or displaying user activity on a "Mini-Feed." And sometimes, it was a big change, like the 2011 introduction of Timeline, which allowed users to post "Life Events" and add large cover photos.

What better way to reminisce on all of Facebook's changes than to look at Zuckerberg's own profile evolution?

Throughout it all, he's been a chameleon, tweaking and transforming his page to highlight any and all of Facebook's new features. Here's a walk down memory lane with the many faces of Mark Zuckerberg's profile.

• 2005

  

  Here's Zuck at a presentation in 2011. Part of his talk includes an image of his profile from 2005, which, wow, remember when it looked like that?
  Back then, it was still called "The Facebook" and had a wildly simple design.
  (Note the slight peek of a hoodie in his profile picture.)

• 2007

  

  He had 182 pics and you could see the changes he made to his profile. Note how the Facebook tools on the top right-hand side were all in lowercase letters, and there was a "Mini-Feed" where you could see user activity.
  It's also worth checking out what Zuckerberg's "Interests" were: Lots of Facebook, information flow, exponential growth, meditation, driving, writing and more.

• December 2007

  

  Look at the scruffy hair and city landscape in that profile photo. The Mark of late '07 was so young and carefree.

• 2010

  

  You could still "Poke" him and see a list of his family members.

• 2011

  

  Here's Zuck presenting his profile during an event in 2011. Once the Timeline was introduced, Facebook's CEO graced his cover photo with various pictures of his dog, Beast. You could also "Subscribe" to his page.

• 2012

  

  Back then, he described his job as head of Facebook: "Making the world more open and connected."

• 2012 - Life Event

  

  When the Zuck married longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan in 2012, he uploaded a sweet wedding photo of the pair. He also added the event to his Facebook timeline.

• 2013

  

  In 2013, Zuckerberg's profile received more views than normal, thanks to a hacker named Khalil Shreateh. He allegedly found a flaw in Facebook's system and was able to post a status on the young billionaire's page to alert the social site about the bug.

• 2014

  

  First you were friends. Then you became a fan. Then you subscribed. Then you could "Follow" Zuckerberg's profile. From 2013 to 2014, he acquired about 10 million new followers, putting him at over 28 million total.
  There's no more relationship status, and he's only got one profile pic. The fun Timeline photos of Beast are now replaced with a map graphic "of all of the friendships formed on Facebook across the world," according to one of his comments.
  This is the Mark Zuckerberg of the present.
