Facebook became an overnight success out of Harvard School fraternity and reached billions in a short amount of time.

It does not matter if he stole the idea or not as he was accused of but what matters the most is that he turned a simple website into an internet sensation and an addiction for almost all age groups. No other Social Network has yet been able to compete with Facebook at this level.
