Well theft is theft, regardless of if Mark made it what it is. If i steal a singers lyrics and track and then go on to sell platnum, should i get to keep the money…i dont think so. The best thing is to split ownership 50 – 50, Facebook-connectU. I blame facebook for all this mess. they should have settled it quietly

#13 — Did Gates work with all of the companies and individuals you mention? The difference is Zuckerberg worked with ConnectU, delayed their production, and then walked away–taking the code with him–only to open a site which was an exact copy of the ConnectU idea. Wouldn’t you be angry?

And the accusation of “illegally hacking” is perhaps a bit too strong. I mean, before the privacy options to hide your email address or your profile from strangers, they were right there on the page for anyone to see. What they are probably referring to is an application the guys behind ConnectU later worked on called “Social Butterfly.” It was going to allow users to take their information from one social networking profile and import it into a number of other networks.

#5 — They’ve made previous attempts to set this right or at least get the credit they rightfully deserve, long before Facebook was on the radars of most people in or outside of college.

MZ will do anything to get what he wants. with his track record, i am not surprised that he didn’t sell it for 1B, he is plain too greedy.

Zuckerberg should get used to people claiming he stole from them. I mean people claim that Gates stole his ideas from Xerox, IBM, Ghandi, Apple, The Dali Lama, and that he no visionary just another phony who cheated his way up. Apple is the only company that come up with cool and original products, right? Most people think that Sony invented the Television and Toyota invented the Automobile, but no. Those bastards stole their ideas from the Americans. The only problem is that no one can prove they did.

Thank God! Another FB story! It’s only been one day and I was starting to get withdrawal. If I don’t get at least one inane FB a day I may actually have to use the site. Why is it that everyone I know uses LinkedIn and Myspace and no one gives a hoot about FB? We’re all highly educated and fit the FB demographic and none of us care and we all think that history will show that FB made a huge mistake by not cashing the ticket when they had a chance. Drinking the koolaid…….

Oh, and Mark, you can always try distance education. That’s what I’m enrolled in right now to finish my CS bachelors. Everybody else here is a CS graduate but me. I had dropped out too. I hear phoenix online is horrible though, so you may want to find a credible one.

“but Facebook’s counter claim that ConnectU illegally hacked into Facebook in 2004″

http://en.wikip...Mark_Zuckerberg

“The school alleged that Zuckerberg had hacked into Harvard house websites to harvest images of students without their permission, for profit.”

Pot, meet Kettle
Your image should be modified to add a Harvard Ghost also chasing after him.

“A year later he dropped out.”

A drop-out ghost should also be in the distant background.

At any rate, who cares right?
We’ll make widgets for Facebook either way. As long as they pay us.
