I don't believe he did that. I believe the problem may be that facebook have more members than connectU. Now how would facebook get the code if it was placed on the web before connectU?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I use facebook some, but not alot. I find the groups to be somewhat annoying. everyone joins a ton of groups just to say they are in them, then nothing happens with the groups. message boards are mostly inactive unless the group has 100 members, then people want to post advertisements or something. i go onto the site when i get an email that says someone wants to be your friend, thats about it...

According to the article, the guy who started facebook worked on the connectU project before he started facebook.kittystrawberry said:
I think facebook may have to pay the connectU people some money, but I don't think the site is gonna go under.

I agree with the people who said that facebook will probably just end up having to pay some $$....which is a good thing. Facebook is WONDERFUL!! LOL, I'm NOT an addict!

ha i was so going to post the same fact that its just like myspace...only college oriented and not as fancy in my opinion. i'm sure if the creaters of myspace (Tom..lol) really wanted to, they could make a college counterpart...(hope im using the right terminology..)

I tend to surf it obsessively for a day or two, then not check it for a few months. It's nice because I can see that my HS friends are doing well, and because I can join groups with funny names.

It depends on the contract Mark signed, if he signed a non-compete contract than he is screwed. Than again facebook a VC invested 12 or so million dollars so facebook is backed up by large powerful businessmen. The question this could just be a PR war, with no real effects. The reality is a settlement might be paid or a long drawn out court battle.

I agree with LuxClaire, right now it is about the noncompete contract. He is smart enough not to steal code, all programmers know that. and if he was working on the facebook he was probably only a contributor.

I don't like facebook because it didn't let me register there
Anyway, what facebook is for, exactly? What can you do with it?

Did you try registering with your college email address? The one that ends with .edu, I mean. Or maybe, if you go to a really small/obscure school, it hasn't gotten there yet.
People use it for a lot of different things. I mostly use it to keep track of my HS friends and join groups with funny names, like I said above. It can also be a good way to spread information about events and stuff like that.

Ohh. Yeah, I think it's only American, at least for now. 'Course, if you start one in Poland, I'll bet you could make money hand over fist

Yeah, it's kind of like a college Myspace, without all the band stuff. At least, I think it is; I don't have a Myspace account, though.

Well, so I guess Myspace is generally better, because more people can have it...

Personally I like facebook better than myspace. Myspace seems to always have problems, where as I've never seen a problem with facebook.

I agree. I have a place on MySpace, but I don't use it as much as facebook. Really I just joined because I knew people there.MetalBlade said:
