Wild musing:

Did Zuckerberg invent Facebook.com or copy it from another person, during college?

I forget where history landed on that one.

And so I wonder if this corporate decision relates to that inventiveness of lack of.

In initial form, there wasn't anything to invent: it was implementing a digital phone book.

That idea was brought to him by the Winklevoss brothers.

He then built it (allegedly, and having to pay $65m to settle a claim about, while lying to his partners) and scaled the company into what is now Facebook.
