Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s Dirty Secrets

Posted in Facebook by Cornell Blog Admin on December 1st, 2007.

It’s hilarious that Mark Zuckerberg forget to hide his young web presence after founding Facebook, a service basically dedicated to ruining our privacy. So, it was with great interest that I read through the documents posted online by 02138mag.com about the Facebook v. ConnectU case. From an earlier article Poking Facebook, 02138 already told us that Zuckerberg:

  • Is an average coder at best
  • Has “an affinity for Asian women”
  • Was put on probation for “improper social behavior”
  • “I know he’s dishonest,” Greenspan says. “I’ve seen him lie.”

In The Facebook Files: Court documents from the Facebook trial, we find such exhibits as Mark Zuckerberg’s Harvard application, testimony to the courts, and Facebook’s cash flows in 2005. Did you know that:

  • His full name is Mark Elliot Zuckerberg
  • In 2005 Facebook lost $8,000,000 in expenses
  • On a public personal webpage, he wrote about an ex-girlfriend “Jessica Alona is a b*tch”
  • On the same webpage, he writes about stealing the all the online harvard college Facebook’s to make a “hot or not”-like site

Reading this was a total waste of my time.

It’s interesting that so little useful information is coming out of these court proceedings. We’ve learned that Zuckerberg is a jerk, and allegedly stole the ideas and code from ConnectU. We know he has talent for writing simple applications that affect huge numbers of people. We’ve learned that Facebook was started in muddy, drunken waters almost by accident, and is now the biggest social networking site in the world. If anything, it’s humbling to think that an average guy can beat Microsoft, Google, and News Corp. without even trying.

    I am seriously considering filing charges against facebook for discrimination!
    I have opened at facebook account in early Oct., I have over 40 friends that are people I know in real lives and over 80 facebooks friends that i met joining groups. I have been an active member of many causes including the top recruiter for orgnaizations such as World Protection for Animal Protection and Medicines sans frontier. Facebook disabled my account because I used my dog’s photo as a profile picture.
    They said it has to be a real human photo? or else it is a fake account? my question is on what criteria does facebook based their rules? because there are many pictures with disney characters, anime, stuff animals, landscape..etc, why facebook does not disable such accounts? and only accounts with dog’s photos?
    Rules have to be applied to all or else it is an issue of discrimination!
    Facebook simply refused to reply, and when my friend also has her account disable because of her dog’s photo, facebook replied to her that they cannot answer her via email!!!
    why? because they know it is a case of discrimination? and they are afraid to have anything written?
    If anyone know of any government organization that we can file cases of discrimination, please let me know!

      I had my facebook account diabled with no warning and without explanation. Facebook has ignored my numerous emails requesting an explanation, and I am certain that I’ve been discriminated against for some reason, however I am at a complete loss as to what that reason could possibly be. I’ve since found out that a great many people have also had their accounts disabled without reason. It appears that facebook is just a monumental disaster and if you want to somehow file charges against facebook, I’ll back you 100%. I’m sure we wouldn’t have a hard time at all finding others to join the bandwagon on this one.

    Honestly, all of the above don’t seem dirty to me. After all, he is still just a young kid, therefore, those stuff are understandable. I’m sure his success has well justified reasons.
    The point is, Elliott, you are smarter, and more charming, AND you will have lots and lots more luck. I’m sure you gotta be more successfull!!!!!!!!

    is the guy single?

  5. jokefail says:

    Well, maybe the average Harvard student can beat Microsoft, Google, and News Corp but certainly not the average guy.

    Ex girlfriends are nothing but drama

  7. zealot says:

    His company seems cultish. I think it is all a sham.
    I am going to disable my site. I think they use information to scam people. It is total ****. There have been many negative things resulting from this site. He had holocaust denial sites, that were allowed to post. So disgraceful.

    • Monique Damphousse says:

      Oh I know…so how come other people get their accounts disabled for no reason…it’s all total bullcr** and I think I’m probably better off now that I’m not on facebook any more, anyway…LOL

    Really, leave the guy alone. Jealousy is really a terrible character flaw.

  9. dan de don says:

    Jealousy can’t take you guys anywhere! Face your thing and learn to appreciate good thing, learn to identify with success, learn to be fair in your judgment. Mark Zuckermberg is an Icon take it or leave it, like it or hate it!
