..."And Zuckerberg stole the idea anyway."
Google stole the idea for Adwords, too.
Besides, how can you steal the idea "a community for college kids"? We had one of these when I was in college (the earliest days of the internet)... It sucked, but a lot of us used it.
On the caring about FB front, however-- I agree. Great article here calling Facebook "AOL 2.0":

Why didn't Zuckerberg's friends make the site themselves? Maybe because it was easier to not make it, and then demand money from him later especially after facebook became really successful.
