Beginnings of facebook
Mark Zukerburg created many websites before facebook was established. The first and most infamous was facemash. This was the site that created legal problems for Zukerburg. After those troubles were cleared up, He went right back to work creating the what would one day be face book. Some websites that were inspiration for face book were Friendster and buddy monster. Friend is described in “the face book effect” as a dating website, although its description sounds like a page to connect with old friends and make new ones. It is pretty much posting a profile and interests like other pages such as live journal, and myspace which is also given as an example in the novel. The other , Buddy monster is a page used with Aol Instant Messenger. Users can upload their buddy lists and compare them to see which friends they have in common and rank most popular users. This could also be used to make friends threw other friends. This idea would eventually be applied on face book when people would be able to find mutual friends on other profiles.
