[–] nickb 18y ago ↗ The more you learn about Zuck, the more you start to dislike the guy :( [–] abstractbill 18y ago ↗ At least it seems he's an emacs user... can't be all bad ;-) [–] downer 18y ago ↗ Seems pretty clever. Not letting arbitrary barriers stand in the way. [–] brlewis 18y ago ↗ Rules against downloading personal data in bulk for commercial purposes are not arbitrary barriers. [–] downer 18y ago ↗ Rules in general are the epitome of arbitrary barriers.

[–] kirse 18y ago ↗ What is this document from, a court case or something? [–] DarrenStuart 18y ago ↗ my thoughts too. [–] paulgb 18y ago ↗ Yup, as rms pointed to: http://www.02138mag.com/magazine/article/1764.html
[–] tlrobinson 18y ago ↗ It's really fascinating to see the beginnings of something as huge as Facebook.Is this written by Zuckerberg, or one of the guys suing him for "stealing" Facebook? Is it a journal, or a chat log, or something else?More details plz!
[–] rms 18y ago ↗ http://www.02138mag.com/magazine/article/1764.html is what links to this, they have more documents. The best is this, http://www.02138mag.com/asset/1135.html, it's an email where Zuckerberg talks about working for the ConnectU people.
[–] dannyv 18y ago ↗ ConnectU used to look like junk back in August 2007: http://web.archive.org/web/20070826023826/http://www.connect...Now, it's REALLY similar to Facebook once you look around the inside. It's pretty ridiculous, because it seems that ConnectU was recently updated to appear just like Facebook to make their case stronger ?! [–] falsestprophet 18y ago ↗ Those ConnectU people are worthless jokers and they have no idea.
[–] nostrademons 18y ago ↗ I also love how his initial idea for FaceBook was putting pictures of Kirkland residents next to farm animals to see who is hotter.. [–] paulgb 18y ago ↗ Facebook has changed so much since then. [–] dcurtis 18y ago ↗ Has it? [–] paulgb 18y ago ↗ I was being sarcastic :P
