The Accidental Billionaires (Pg. 40-82)

Summary:
Mark enters his room mad, as he starts using his laptop. The connection between him and his laptop is unbreakable, as he starts writing on his blog. He blogs about his frustration, and how he wants to create a site called, Facemash, where people can compare two girls. He then starts to pull pictures from various dorm house servers, as he works his magic with hacking. Soon afterward, he's nearly done, except for sneaking inside an empty room of another dorm house, to hack their servers. Three days later, he arrives home to his laptop to realize Facemash has accidentally gone public, much to his dismay. He then quickly shuts it down. Back to Tyler and Cameron, they are met by Divya, as he shows them the Crimson, Harvard's newspaper, with Facemash and Mark as headline. Divya explains how much of a hit Facemash was, and Mark's capability of helping them with the Harvard Connection. The three conclude to e-mail Mark and ask him to join them. The story then comes back to Mark, who has just got out of a ad-board meeting, for causing chaos with Facemash, and hacking into the school's servers. However, he's only given a warning, because of his unintentional purpose to crash the school's servers. He then talks to Eduardo about an e-mail he received, offering him to write the code for a secret website, and to meet up with Tyler, Cameron, and Divya. Later on, Mark meets only Tyler and Cameron, because Divya couldn't make it. Tyler proceeds to inform Mark about the goal for the Harvard Connection, which lets people socialize easily. After they were done, Tyler shakes Mark's hand, and notices the new energy in him. A couple days later, Eduardo is at a cafe, as he is suffering from a hangover. The previous night, he was doing last-minute rituals for new members at the Phoenix, which involved heavy drinking. He meets Mark, who has been thinking of what is now the premise of Facebook, and states his discontent with the Harvard Connection. Mark then asks Eduardo to help start out Facebook with finances, and offers him to be CFO, and split the money seventy-thirty. Eduardo agrees, and the both shake on it.

Quotation:
"Maybe the idea of hanging out with guys like the Winklevoss twins appealed to something inside Mark, or maybe it was just another lark, like Facemash—something that seemed like it could be amusing. Or, as Mark would put it, as he always put it: “It might be interesting.”" (Mezrich 62)

Reaction:
Mark is described as Eduardo to be passive and easy going, as he's willing to work with the Winklevoss twins. Eduardo views Facemash as a result of Mark's boredom, overlooking his intentions of actually creating a website. He fails to see Mark's overall vision of Facebook.
