MARKed Asshole

"You are not an asshole, Mark. You are just trying so hard to be".

'The Social Network'- excellently made. After I saw this movie the pertinent question that arose in my mind was 'Was Mark Zuckerberg really an asshole ?' He probably was.
Someone rightly said "Great minds think alike". For instance, take Bill Gates. I recall reading an article on some case(similar to Mark-Winklevoss' case) of Gates years back(don't remember the details, even wikipedia didn't help). Coming back to our discussion, Mark did nothing for Harvard Connection and at the same time led the Winklevoss brothers to think that he was working on their project for that whole period. Ridiculous ! If Mark really was "the man" why didn't he refuse to work with them after he conceived the idea of 'The Facebook'. Six weeks later after agreeing to work for them, he sends an email questioning their site's functionality.Poor luck Cameron and Tyler. Next time.
And Eduardo. You conspire to make him a non-entity. One who made the initial investment, even before this New Co. was poised to be so successful.

In the end, only thing that matters to me is that Mark founded 'Facebook' and I love his website. And I don't give a hoot how he deals with people.
Though I learnt one thing from him, i.e, ....never ever to blog and drink at the same time or may be I should, who knows the next Zuckerberg could be me.....
