The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal

Fairly entertaining dramatized re-telling of the story of the founding of facebook.

Fairly entertaining dramatized re-telling of the story of the founding of facebook. Since not all of the key players participated in helping to develop this book, we are often left w/ lots of dramatizations (i.e. lines like 'we can imagine', 'perhaps', 'maybe'). It's clear Zuckerberg didn't participate so there are few original insights (newsflash: he likes hoodies and addidas flips). Wish there was more insight into business strategy and the technology behind The Facebook. That said it was a good, light and quick read. Reccomended for facebook addicts who want a mix of soap opera and a founding of story. Think several hundred pages of Valleywag.   hide

Quick and interesting read. I hadn't realized all this had gone on with Facebook. I would like to hear Mark Zuckerberg's side of the story.

I read this to get a feel for what it was like to create something. Missing was the details from Mark Zuckerberg. He is the computer genius behind Facebook. Don't you think that maybe you should convince him to be a part of this book. Oh right he is a recluse. Seems like only half of the story was told here. It was a quick read and one sided.

Actually, a good read and an interesting book!
