Mark Zuckerberg made Facebook for himself and friends. That's not quite true. First of all, not all of his "friends" agree that Z "made" rather than "stole" Facebook. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConnectU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConnectU Second, whether or not there's anything to the ConnectU case, Facebook is a commercialized version of HarvardConnection. So, the model seems to be: 1. (get someone else to) Create something you need. 2. Take it. 3. Sell it. Either (a) Zuckerberg is a douchebag who stole the site, or (b) the ConnectU folks are douchebags who want to mooch off of Zuckerberg's idea. The morals of these potential stories seem to be: a) Douchebags will steal from you. b) Douchebags will try to mooch off of you. a+b) Don't associate with douchebags. (And if you do, then at least make sure to get rich and win the lawsuit.)
