Facebook has had its biggest year yet, crossing the 500 million registered member mark.

Facebook has continued to innovate launching Facebook Places, a location tool, a new type of inbox to rival email and additional profile page features. However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing during 2010, as the site was forced to simplify its privacy settings, after online campaigners complained that Facebook was forcing its members to unknowingly share private information.
