Connect U

In 2005, facebook.com creator Mark Zuckerberg faced allegations from his former employers, Cameron, Tyler, and Divya of the social networking site Connect U, that he had stolen their ideas.

Cameron: Mark! We need your design skills for our new idea!
Mark Zuckerberg: Okay, great. Tell me about it.
Cameron: It's a social utility tool to network at colleges and places of business. Maybe high schools, even!
Tyler: You can have "friends," like in real life.
Divya: And you can FIND friends by clicking on these common interests.
Cameron: But no pictures.
Tyler: Yeah, no faces.
Divya: This is a site about connections.
