…Mark Zuckerberg Didn’t Really Start Facebook
1. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra, started Facebook. Actually, it was ConnectU that they started. But they had the idea first! They have sued Mark Zuckerberg for copyright infringement, breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets. Click here for more details.
2. Wait. Aaron J. Greenspan invented Facebook. And he has the email to prove it! Back in 2003, before Facebook and ConnectU were an itch is everyone’s pants, Aaron started houseSYSTEM, which used by a few thousand Harvard students for a variety of online college-related stuff. And Mr. Zuckerberg was a user! The plot thickens!
3. Wait, again! Peter Cashmore invented Facebook. And here is what he has to say about it - “Since two people never think of the same idea at a similar time, I can only conclude that Zuckerberg used a mind-reading contraption to literally steal the idea from my brain. This will be the basis of my $1 billion lawsuit to be filed later this month.” Mmm…
4. Whoa! This Blog Sits At The claims social networks were invented way before we could lazily interact from the comfort of our own desks, when we actually had to meet people to converse. Pshaw!
5. Ok…it’s time let the cat out of the bag. I invented Facebook. Seriously.
