There are a bunch of fun articles for those who have seen The Social Network. Like this one about FaceMash, which was quoted in the movie:

And some comments from Slashdot when Zuckerberg was in high school: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=61425&threshold=1...

For some reason, it's strangely gratifying to know that I have a much lower Slashdot ID than Mark Zuckerberg.

I had the opposite problem. Sorta felt sad about it. And realizing I felt sad about that made me even sadder ;p

Haha, I logged into Slashdot for the first time in 4 years to check my Slashdot ID. I remember it seemed so high when I signed up. Now 100K users is par for the course for social websites.

and a much lower bank account balance. strangely, not so gratifying. :)

Meh, I'm better looking and can trust my friends, so depending on how you value things, it all evens out in some way or another. :)

The Slashdot comment is actually quite reasonable, assuaging concerns about privacy:

"And a note about privacy. None of your musical listening data will be available to anyone other than you. We hope to use massive amounts of data to aid in analysis, but your individual data will never be seen by anyone else."

OTOH if just one year after he said:

ZUCK: they "trust me" ZUCK: dumb fucks

well... it means you can't "trust" people on the Internet with information you wouldn't want divulged.
