The Kirkland facebook is open on my desktop and some of these people have pretty horrendous facebook pics. While writing the software, Mark Zuckerberg wrote the following blog entries: The website allowed visitors to compare two students' pictures side by side and let them decide who was more attractive. The website was set up as a type of "hot or not" game for Harvard students. FaceMash įaceMash was opened in 2003, developed by Mark Zuckerberg he wrote the software for the Facemash website when he was in his second year of college. The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and gradually most universities in the United States and Canada, corporations, and by September 2006, to everyone with a valid email address along with an age requirement of being 13 or older.
