ConnectU.com creator sues thefacebook.com

"The close similarities between the two sites prompted creators of connectU to sue thefacebook.com's creator in the Massachusetts U.S. District Court for allegedly stealing both the concept and source code for the site."

"More than two years ago, Harvard sophomores Divya Narendren and twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss came up with the idea for an online directory system, Winklevoss said."

"They made an oral arrangement with Mark Zuckerburg to complete the coding for the connectU idea, he said. Zuckerburg eventually stopped working for connectU and founded his own site, thefacebook.com."
