    founders of ConnectU say Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder stole their ideas while they were students at Harvard ! The lawsuit's allegations against Zuckerberg include fraud, copyright infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets. Last year Facebok turn downed 1 billion offer from yahoo. Many said its the right thing he did but now he might be regretting. But again there's only a little chance ConnecTU guys win this

    That would be a huge loss for Facebook if they were to be successfully sued. I read about it a long time ago in a Newsweek article, or something similar. Apparently, the people who are suing don't really have any evidence.

    I doubt anything happens to Facebook as we know it. Just some of his old friends are steamed that they didn't act on a good idea floating around first.

    I read about that too in the newspaper. I doubt they'll end up being able to sue because of not having any evidence.

    Besides the fact of that, maybe Facebook is further ahead because the site is working properly? I got a database error when I clicked a few links on the ConnectU site.
