Actually I tried to do it back in the early 90's with software I wrote. Never could get any $$$$ plus I didn't know it was "social media" back then. lol.

PS I still have the software if anyone has the $$$$

PPS a couple of years later the $$$$ showed up but unfortunately the vulture capitalist forced the software to be an insanely expensive configuration management system.

I wish you had succeeded with it instead of Zuckerberg. I know Zuckerberg would have never been found on FR.

And you make the case that it was coming. It was on the way. He stole ideas from others.

“The infamous Winklevoss twins have been giving Mark Zuckerberg grief ever since Facebook’s launch back in 2004. The pair and a business partner (more on him later) commissioned Mark Zuckerberg to program a social networking site they had founded called ConnectU, but they later alleged in a lawsuit that Zuckerberg ripped off their idea and launched Thefacebook (later, Facebook) instead. After settling with the company for $65 million in cash and stock, the twins claimed that Facebook misled them about the value of the company’s stock. They appealed the settlement all the way up to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court — just one appeal shy of the Supreme Court — before throwing in the towel in June 2011.”
