Facebook celebrated its 10-year anniversary by creating minute-long videos highlighting the activity of its users starting with the year they joined the site. The videos, personalized for Facebook's "hundreds of millions" of users, were published online Tuesday, CNN reported.
The 62-second videos, titled "A Look Back," shows posts that were liked the most along with a random collection of the user's photos.
Facebook posted the videos, which are set to music, online without any announcement, CNN reported.
"People often ask if I always knew that Facebook would become what it is today," Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Tuesday Facebook post. "No way."
Zuckerberg founded the social media site on Feb. 4, 2004 with four of his classmates at Harvard University, CNN reported.
"I remember getting pizza with my friends one night in college shortly after opening Facebook. I told them I was excited to help connect our school community, but one day someone needed to connect to the whole world."
Not every Facebook user will receive a personalized video. Those who use Facebook the most will see a video, followed by a collection of photos for those who use it less, or a thank-you card for those who use it the least, a Facebook spokesperson told CNN.
"It's been amazing to see how all of you have used our tools to build a real community," Zuckerberg wrote.
"You've shared the happy moments and the painful ones. You've started new families, and kept spread out families connected. You've created new services and built small businesses. You've helped each other in so many ways," Zuckerberg wrote.
The videos are available in English, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Turkish, Indonesian and Brazilian Portuguese, the spokesperson told CNN.
Facebook users can re-post the videos on their pages as of Tuesday afternoon. Only the user can see their own video unless they share it, CNN reported.
