I had a discussion with one of my friends the other day about Mark Zuckerberg and the Winklevoss twins, when I realized that Zuckerberg was absolutely right in the movie when he said that it wasn't just about the idea, this is about the first time that the Winklevii didn't get their way.
I understand that Zuckerberg is not the most social fella, not the most likable, amicable guy and he did take an idea and make it better. He took their seed, planted it and grew a freaking forest. So they complain he knew that timing was everything, yes that's true and while Zuckerberg had the first-movers advantage, why the hell didn't they continue and learn from his mistakes? They could have still pursued their dating website, learned from where Zuckerberg was messing up and made something of themselves.
That's called competition,
son.
The Winklevii not only had the resources, but the brains, friends, and the personalities to take their project and make it work for themselves. Facebook was still within Harvard walls, they could've created a better idea, taken his idea and branched out, or even just created the "Harvard Connection" and focused on a different niche. But no, instead, they bitched. A lot. For awhile.
The Olympics, a gabagillion dollars and a movie still wasn't enough for them..they're still complaining! During a recent interview with 60 minutes, the interviewer asked why they were still complaining, even after they've been paid. They responded that it was
their idea.
But mom, it was my toyyyy first
And of course, coming on top once again, Zuckerberg made them look like children when he responded "I feel bad that they're still upset about what they think happened". SLAP.
Yes, it sucks when someone potentially stole your idea and became the world's youngest billionaire from it but be Harvard gentlemen and handle with it class already. Jeez.
