Facebook founder to appear in court
Filed in archive Newsdesk 2.0 by S.M. Schrama on July 23, 2007

One of it's founders, Mark Zuckerberg was accused of stealing the idea behind facebook back in 2004. This wednesday he is to appear in court to defend himself against the accusations, but actually, I don't think it will stick. Why ? Well, facebook is based on an idea every school, organization or sportsclub has.
Twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra, claimed to have been developing their own social networking site, ConnectU in 2003 when they decided to hire Zuckerberg to help them.
According to them, the accused deliberately slowed down the development of ConnectU while he developed a similar system which he eventually released three months ahead of ConnectU.()
Even if this would be true, it will be impossible to prove.
