Chapter 1292: That Side Is Very Square

No matter at any time, college students are always the fastest and most proactive group to accept new things and new ideas.

This group of carefree guys are also the group of people with the most sharing spirit. Whenever they encounter something rare, they will immediately share it with their classmates and friends. How can I put it, sometimes, this is also a way to highlight their superiority. .

See, I always know these things in advance.

Thanks to the active promotion of these promising young people, Harvard was the first university outside California to learn about Facebook.

This is not without any truth.

As we all know, Stanford and Harvard, two schools on the west and one on the east, have always been in love with each other and entangled with each other. They compare school production and donations, students and teachers, and rankings (higher) and admission rates ( (relatively low)... It seems that like many of their students, they are too energetic and have nothing to do.

It continues to this day, with a sense of love-hate entanglement.

The same goes for the students. When they mention each other, they all look unconvinced and disdainful. However, compared to other universities, they are emotionally closer to their old rival.

It's a good thing, they will think of each other inadvertently.

In the morning, when Facebook had just launched and no reports had even appeared on news websites, a post appeared on the Harvard forum with the title "A pretty cool gadget." A curious guy clicked on it and took a look. I immediately want to find an administrator. Why is a guy from Stanford posting here?

The post was very simple and said in an understatement, "Look, this is a website just launched by our business school students. This is really not a big deal for us, but it is still a cool website. You can take a look at it. "

A link is attached at the back.

The indifference behind his words made people angry.

But these young people who think they have grown up really can't stand such provocation. Many people clicked on it on the spot, determined to criticize this website as useless.

After a quick glance, I felt that the hateful guy at least had a good saying. This is really a cool website, and this function is really helpful for "socializing".

Even in an open society like the United States, there is such a thing as "It's hard to say I love you". It is conceivable that this website is a powerful tool.

This post was scoffed at first, and then deleted mercilessly by the administrators. However, everything that existed must have traces. The post was no longer there, but the website had already spread among a small group of people at Harvard.

Obviously, such a new thing cannot be hidden. The roommate knows about it first, and then the roommate’s girlfriend, or the female classmate who is having fun is also dragged in... With such viral development, soon, these snowy days, Guys who have had enough sleep in the dormitory, many people are playing with this new thing.

Some people are like treasure hunting, oh, even Steve Jobs has registered, but what about Bill Gates? Well, not yet.

Beyoncé has also registered. What about Britney, who just set a record for the shortest marriage among celebrities? Well, she is not... right now.

Soon, some guys who believed in sharing good things even included their family members.

…………

In Harvard's Kirkland Student Dormitory, Eduardo Saverin, in a crisp suit, walked into the dormitory like a gust of wind, threw his coat on the bed at the entrance, and said to the guy in front of the computer who was concentrating on programming, "Mark, don't wrote,"

Zuckerberg didn't look back or respond.

As in the original history, although Feng Yiping had launched NEXTDOOR long ago, this still allowed some people to see opportunities, first the Winklevoss brothers, and later Zuckerberg, who was inspired by them.

NEXTDOOR is a community-based social network, and there are still divisions between communities. Obviously this is not a real social network, or in other words, it is not a complete social network. The success of NEXTDOOR clearly allows them to see the hugeness of this. Opportunity.

At the same time, NEXTDOOR has almost let everyone know what functions it should have to start a real social networking site, and how to make money after it is successfully established.

Haha, everyone says that Feng has such a good vision, why does he turn a blind eye to this larger market?

As in history, Zuckerberg quickly abandoned the Winklevoss brothers and went it alone. Because of the need for funds and commercial development, he still roped in Saverin.

Saverin, who is the leader of the school's investment club and always wears a suit and tie at school, is obviously a wealthy man and seems to have a lot of business acumen.

His classmates also generally believe that he, who is of Brazilian origin, has some inextricable relationship with the Brazilian Mafia.

Zach believes that it is a good choice to find such a rich and capable guy to take charge of other affairs.

"What's wrong?" Moskowitz, Zach's roommate, asked.

Saverin didn't answer him. He suddenly picked up the computer Zuckerberg was using and threw it on the bed. "It's meaningless."

Zuckerberg, who was still quite immature at this time, was a little confused and blinked.

I have to say that this is a genius guy. Geniuses are sometimes arrogant in the form of not caring about behaviors or people that they think are unreasonable. What Saverin is doing right now is something that Zach is too lazy to care about.

He then talked to himself, "If we remove some functions in NEXTDOOR, our website can be launched next month,"

Because some functions in NEXTDOOR require support from other businesses, such as electronic map service providers, and they can't afford this money now.

Because NEXTDOOR has more functions, even the genius programmer Zuckerberg can't just spend 10 days to complete the design of the entire website this time.

"Oh my God, I said it's meaningless, didn't you hear it?" Saverin said with his head down, his waist bent, and his hands waved.

He opened a website on another computer on the table and pushed it in front of Zuckerberg's eyes, "Look,"

Zuckerberg couldn't help rubbing his eyes. Isn't this his own website? But I haven't written it yet. He was a little confused just now, but now he is really confused.

But wait, there is no "the" in front of the domain name of this website, and this version has more functions and the overall interface looks more beautiful.

Zuck suddenly felt a sense of time and space confusion. This will only appear in his later version?

He looked at Saverin in a panic, or in a horrified way.

"Yes, it's NEXTDOOR," Saverin lay on the bed with his hands on his head, "They just launched this website today,"

The worry finally happened!

Zuckerberg sat there motionless.

Although they laughed at NEXTDOOR and Feng Yiping verbally, ignoring such a large forest next to them and only taking care of the NEXTDOOR tree, but deep in their hearts, they did not lack a sense of crisis: NEXTDOOR and Mr. Feng, did they really not see these?

So after being inspired by the Wenkows brothers and looking at NEXTDOOR, Zuckerberg devoted himself to the construction of his own website. Subconsciously, he actually knew very well that he might be racing with a genius who had successfully founded several companies.

Unexpectedly, the thing he was most worried about still happened. He alone was obviously not as strong as an engineer in the other company.

But why didn't you release it early, but waited until I was about to produce results?

The third employee of the website, Moskovitz, looked at the website for a few times and was also confused. He felt that what Zuckerberg was writing was a script, and the one on the Internet was the final result. The two websites seemed to have the same origin. "They plagiarized our ideas," he shouted.

This time, even Zuckerberg couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Plagiarism?" Saverin sat up, "Their website is already online, and ours is still being designed. Who plagiarized whose?"

He was too lazy to say that many functions of the website designed by Zuckerberg were plagiarized from the mature NEXTDOOR.

"I now understand that the owner of the domain name is the Chinese pinyin of Yiping Feng.

Feng Yiping had registered a lot of domain names and trademarks a long time ago. In order to reduce trouble, he even registered the controversial "Fuckbook" at the same time, but deliberately omitted "thefacebook".

Haha, we have to give people some hope!

"So what should we do now? "Moskovitz asked.

Zuckerberg also looked at Saverin. Although he lost, he was convinced.

Don't even think about changing the name and launching it online. It won't bring any benefits and will only become a laughing stock.

Except for the different names, everything else looks almost the same. I'm afraid that as soon as it goes online, the court subpoena will be in my hands.

"What do you think, can we sell this to NEXTDOOR?"
