FaceMash...

Recently read Accidental Billionaire the story of FaceBook*. While I'm not on it & have no intention to ever join it was a very good, very fast & interesting read. It is told from the point of view of others involved with the story & the CEO refused to be interviewed or add any input. It paints a less then pretty picture of the guy. However it does give some back story on him & outright shows that the guy is a genius.

Why it was originally started, how, & how incredibly fast it grew vs it's competitors is pretty interesting. I am a big fan of the author & kudo's to him from a marketing perspective from taking what should have been a 2 part article in Playboy or Wired & turned it into a book...

*Fashmash was the original name...
