> Or if you're Mark Zuckerberg - you could be a developer hired to help develop ConnectU - and then lead the brothers on, pretending it's almost ready
That is actually not true. Contrary to the cinema depiction, Mark Zuckerberg was not the only remaining PHP developer on the planet, and Winklevosses quickly brought in additional talent to finish up ConnectU as well as launch Jungalu.com, StallScribbles.com, DigitalFlyers, ConnectHi, ConnectGroups and numerous other Internet properties
What does it matter if they tried to continue on their path? They tried finishing up ConnectU after Mark had ample time to get TheFacebook farther ahead and then launch beforehand. Not sure how that makes what I said untrue. I can't remember the source, though I had read an article from someone that was ~20 pages long. It went in-depth and included 'leaked' conversation of Mark's. In it I believe it even had him roughly saying that he's trying to get TheFacebook done so he can launch before ConnectU - and purposely is leading them on to be able to do that - because as I said before, he sees there not being room for two versions of what's being made...
You say it's not true though - how do you confirm that? Other than referencing the movie wasn't accurate? If it wasn't, why didn't Zuckerberg sue for defamation?
