The social network

The social network which is the film about Facebook, basically a story about the founders of the social-networking website, Facebook.

I, myself had to watch this film regardless of how good it was or not, it's just one of those things that you have to see. (If you're me).

It is what it is. People have speculated about the truth around the story but it gives you an insight into how this Billion pound company started from essentially one guy which then grew and grew.

Not to give you a spoiler but, it starts with Zuckerburg - he's had a bad day so he returns to his room at night and starts his first site facemash.com which explodes and ends up taking down the campus network. From there he creates Facebook, it grows then he gets sued etc.

Go watch the film!

Facemash? Why am I thinking about Mr. Potatohead?

It is also quite humorous.

Mark is very intelligent and rather witty as you'll find out. He does not like people looking down on him and / or making accusations. I did lol at some of his statements.

I loved that movie.

Yeah, I got the same answer."
