Did we know?... Facebook a (the) mainstream online social network was by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004. Three Zuckerberg's Harvard classmates, claim he stole their idea for their own site, ConnectU. A lawsuit was filed in 2004 and has been dismissed in 2007 without prejudice but was never ruled on. It was refiled soon thereafter in U.S. District Court in Boston, and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for July 25, 2007. At the hearing the judge told ConnectU parts of their complaint were not sufficiently pled and gave them the ability to refile an amended complaint. On June 25, 2008, the case was settled and Facebook agreed to pay an undisclosed amount of cash and stock.
