rofl tell me you do not understand how FB got started without telling me...
That shit's been a privacy nightmare from the beginning.
It was 2002-ish.
A much younger korazail saw how my friends were leaving highschool, going to different colleges and foresaw they would continue to spread out after that.
He had an idea of building a website to help keep track of friends so we could keep in touch despite physical distance and enable networking; a blend of Facebook and LinkedIn.
I was a CS major and built a forum and database architecture that my local friend group used for a little bit to chat, but we were all still mostly local and it didn't seem super useful, and while always on Internet was a thing, I didn't have it and my server needed to be online to use my application.
A few years later, Facebook.
I wonder sometimes how the world would be if I'd promoted my idea, figured out how to host it outside my bedroom, etc. I might have also just been a Myspace or live journal, but maybe I'd have gotten there first...
I don't think I'd be a megalomanic asshole, but I can't prove it.
Why now he has a doomsday bunker in Hawaii, and I'm damn sure he also has a squad of PMCs on retainer.
