Who First Conceived The Idea Of The Great Social Network, The Facebook


The founder of the world's largest social network, the facebook was awarded the title of "The person of the year" by the American magazine the "Times". Though it is a fact that Marck Zakar Berg is an intelligent young man but, it is said that he had stolen the concept, idea, design and codes of the facebook that were originally conceived by a Indian-American student of Harvard University Dev Narindar who shared this idea with his two friends Cameron and Tailor who were twins. Dev wanted to design a website through which students could chat, meet and and have social contacts. The twin brothers appreciated his idea and asked Dev to initiate the project of building website. Initially, the name "Harvard Connections" was suggested for the site. In January 2003, they requested a friend in the university,Senjay Moven Karvey who was a programmer to design the website. He started working on the design of the site but during April 2003, he was offered a job in Google and he left this work. When Senjay left, the three friends hired the services of another programmer friend Victor. Till November Victor had completed most of the work of designing and coding of the site.But during the same month he left the job due to his personal reasons and suggested that they should contact Marck Zakar Berg who had been famous as a programmer in the University. Marck had already a personal website "Face Mesh" He used to post/paste the pictures of students of the University on his website pages then student who visited the site had to share his opinion that which student was more beautiful. Face Mesh had also a list of the ranking of the students students with respect to beauty and attractiveness. But, many of the students disliked this site blaming Marck of stealing their pictures. Marck was called by the Disciplinary Committee for students of the Harvard University. According to the official magazines of the University "Crimson" published on November 19, 2003. The allegations on mArck about breaking the security, violation of copy rights, and attacking the individual privacy were proved, but the article in the magazines reported a good news for Marck that he was not expelled from the University.
