The author claims to have invented Facebook, yet has presented no compelling evidence whatsoever for anything beyond "I did actually know Zuck when he created Facebook". He's not at all credible in my opinion.
- astura 7y agoIn another post on his blog he "proves" he "invented" Facebook with this link: https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2009/05/facebook-and-think-computer-corporation-resolve-trademark-dispute/ https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2009/05/facebook-and-think-comp... >Starting in August 2003, Think released a web based student portal called houseSYSTEM through a Harvard student group. This software was designed to make life easier for students, faculty, and alumni. By September 2003, houseSYSTEM featured a section (devised and implemented by Greenspan) called “The Universal Face Book” (sometimes called “The Face Book”). Which is an odd claim because I was under the impression that "face books" weren't an original concept.
- the_watcher 7y agoIt's not an original concept, it originated in print, and inspired the name[0]. So basically, he's claiming that he contributed to a web portal that included the _name_ "Face Book", hence he invented Facebook.
