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 ?!


Those ConnectU people are worthless jokers and they have no idea.


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.



Scribd should just slurp the whole internet... everyone's quality of life would rise dramatically.


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!


I also love how his initial idea for FaceBook was putting pictures of Kirkland residents next to farm animals to see who is hotter..


Facebook has changed so much since then.


Has it?


I was being sarcastic :P


The more you learn about Zuck, the more you start to dislike the guy :(


At least it seems he's an emacs user... can't be all bad ;-)



I think he can take our dislike looking at his bank account..


Seems pretty clever. Not letting arbitrary barriers stand in the way.


Rules against downloading personal data in bulk for commercial purposes are not arbitrary barriers.


Rules in general are the epitome of arbitrary barriers.


What is this document from, a court case or something?



my thoughts too.
