I just wonder who the first hundred or so users of Facebook were, must be amazing to hop onto a site (and a story) like that so early, and to have seen it expand the way it did.

Just look for the users with the first 100 Facebook UIDs... e.g. Mark Zuckerberg has UID=4.

My user ID on the houseSYSTEM Facebook was 1; Mark's was 1,234. On Mark's Facebook mine was/is 82, and his was/is 4. I've commented on the experience of being involved and "amazing" is one of many adjectives one could use. It's striking how few people want to hear what I have to say, anyhow.

  Are you really working on FaceCash? It sounds like a parody.
  - thinkcomp 16y ago
    Yes, and it's not. Did you look at the site?

      Yes I did and it looks great! Are you seeing good adoption? Who are your early users? Any plans of coming to the UK? (Sorry I realise my earlier comment sounds silly.)

  Your comment struck me as prescient. I founded a "flash in the pan" social startup game that eventually went nowhere. But despite the end results, it was quite an interesting ride and there are some fascinating stories to tell. Unfortunately, only a couple people I know have cared to hear them. Most of my 300 or so Facebook friends don't even know what a startup is, let alone why they should want to hear stories about one. Obviously my experience is probably not nearly as interesting as yours, but I understand your sentiment. The vast majority of people simply don't seem relate to much that falls beyond their own preconceived worldviews. Anything beyond that horizon is foreign to them to the point of being meaningless.
