ASSALAMUALAIKUM
Today, I'm going to tell a lit bit about how Facebook.
The origin of Facebook have been in dispute since the very week a 19 year old Mark Zukerberg launched the site as Harvard sophomore on February 4, 2004. Then called "thefacebook.com," the site was instant hit. Now, six years later, the site has become one of the biggest web sites in the world, visited by 400 million people a month.
The controversy surrounding Facebook began quickly. A week after he launched the site in 2004, Mark was accused by three Harvard seniors of having stolen idea from them.
This allegation soon bloomed into a full-fledged lawsuit, as a competing company founded by the Harvard seniors sued Mark and Facebook for theft and fraud, starting a legal odyssey that continues to this day.
The primary dispute around Fcaebook's origin centered around whether Mark had entered into an "agreement" with the Harvard seniors, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and a classmate name Divya Narendra, to develop a similar web site for them and then, instead, stalled their project while taking their idea and building his own.
