After the "FaceMash" project by Zuckerberg, three of his fellow school mates - Divya Narendra, and twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss - had already spoken with the idea of creating a social networking site for all of the Harvard students called "Harvard Connection".
This site is designed to use the Harvard's students information in order to create a dating site for the Harvard's elite. After a meeting with Divya and his team mates, Zuckerberg agreed to team up and help them with this project, but the potential of his new partners he estimated it skeptically.While working on this project, Zuckerberg got a fantastic idea of doing his own social site and soon dropped out to work on his own social network site which is almost the same with the project "Harvard Connection" but it is with his new partners and also his friends - Eduardo Saverin., Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.
TheFacebook.com
On February 2004, Zuckerberg and his partners has created a social networking site that allows the users to create their own profiles, upload photos, and communicate with other users called "TheFacebook.com", now known throughout the world as Facebook.com. However, it functioned only within Harvard until June 4, Zuckerberg and his team realized that there were already a big amount of users has registered and soon they decided to expand their Facebook service throughout to the students at Columbia University, Stanford, and Yale. After his sophomore year, Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard and devote himself to Facebook full time and move the company to Palo Alto, California. By the end of 2004, Facebook had 1 million subscribers.
