Leave Facebook Alone!

Awww…were you hoping for the ‘Leave Britney Alone’ guy? Sowee!

This magazine posted quite a few documents that Zuckerberg (CEO) considers personal; wouldn’t you? The court, however, didn’t think so. Fred noticed a lotta facebook hatin’ today. That $15 billion valuation is not sitting well with a lot of people so they want a piece of that action.

Naturally, I couldn’t help myself and looked through couple of those documents on the magazine - namely the Harvard application. None of the other files did anything for me, except for the fact that both Papa and Mama Zuckerberg went to my Alma Mater Brooklyn College. Here’s a 1986 NY Times article where papa Zuckerberg is mentioned.

I love how one string leads to another. While reading another article about the trial docs, I found out Bruce Chizen (outgoing CEO of Adobe systems Inc.) went to Brooklyn College as well - scroll down to the end of the article.

Fuck it! Why not just give you a list of famous people who went to, or taught at, Brooklyn College. Missing from the list - from top of my head - Himan Brown, and Eric Alterman.

Good lord, this post is linked up like a mofo!

Gerald Boyd’s heartbreaking story resonated with me.

Boyd was betrayed by people he thought were his friends. Why did he deserve to die with a broken heart?
