Definitely in agreement with this. I remember reading about Aaron Greenspan a longggg time ago as a teenager and being motivated by his success with Think Computer and trying to do better myself. He'd won accolades for being so young, yet successfully running a business. That was admirable and really inspirational. This, however, isn't. Everybody has flaws, but it's getting to be a sad thing to watch an inspiration flail around repeatedly about how he's not getting credit for Facebook. I think a lot of us, depending on what contexts we've been in (college, most notably), have had an idea "copied" with the copier, in some cases, going on to get more recognition for the idea than we. I had a friend who built what was the pre-cursor to Facebook Marketplace and then watched as another classmate yanked the idea from him down to identifiable lines of code (Javascript, comments, etc.) and proceeded to have some success with it. Instead of going on a rampage about how he'd been ripped off, my friend just kept building and expanding his user base. He got up to around 1500 users (way more than the other guy) before Facebook Marketplace really hit (and he ultimately shut the site down), but his attitude wasn't to go around publishing whiny letters in the campus newspaper about the unoriginal classmate. I can't figure out why Aaron Greenspan can't take this route. If I'm missing something from a monetary/contractual standpoint, somebody let me know, but these posts look bad. :\ EDIT: Ambiguity on friend's marketplace app.
