What you are looking at is not a bunch of colorful pixels. This is The Faces of Facebook, an interactive website that showcases every person in the world that has a Facebook account in real-time.

As you may have noticed from entering the site, it shows that over a billion people have a Facebook and the numbers keep on going from there. As you click on any section of the window, it draws you closer to the “colorful pixels” revealing various people, their profile picture, their name, and what number they were since they made their account. You can click on the top left of the window to see the first people who had Facebook (who is obviously Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook) and go to the bottom right for the latest people who have Facebook.

It is an amazing interactive website mostly using Facebook database and some Javascript to get this information into one extravagant website. It is also kind of scary if you happen to have a Facebook as well that you are probably wondering where your “face” may be at from all those “colorful pixels”. Thankfully, Natalia Rojas, the creator of this interactive website, allows the user to find where they are located from the site. You can also ask Natalia to remove your face from the site as well.
