Mark Zuckerberg attended Harvard University where he studied psychology and computer science. He wrote a sort of section program he called CourseMatch, which helped students to form study groups.
While at Harvard, Mark Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook, an internet based social network.
The website was originally and briefly called Facemash. Perhaps he created the site as a type of “hot or not” game for Harvard students, where website visitors could compare two student photos side-by-side and let viewers decide who was “hot” and who was “not”. He entered into Harvard’s security network and copied the student ID images to populate his Facemash website.
Facemash closed after few days and Mark faced expulsion from Harvard University for his actions. However, all charges were dropped.
