From Dorm Room to Digital Empire: The Facebook Revolution
What happens when social rejection meets coding genius? On a cold October night in 2003, after being stood up for drinks with two Harvard women, Mark Zuckerberg returned to his dorm room with beer and frustration. By 8:13 PM, he was blogging about his rejection and contemplating a website to compare students' attractiveness. What began as a drunken prank evolved into "Facemash" - a hot-or-not site for Harvard students that required hacking into university databases to collect thousands of student photos. "Let the hacking begin," Mark wrote, slightly intoxicated but laser-focused. Within hours of launch, Facemash crashed Harvard's network with 22,000 votes from 400 students in just 30 minutes. Though the site earned Mark probation from Harvard's Administrative Board, it revealed something profound: people craved digital social interaction centered around real identities. This insight would become the foundation for something much bigger.
