Believes....
˝˝˝I believe, the Latin "element" to the social network -Facebook- was huge at the moment of creating the site.
˝˝˝I believe, Mark Zuckerberg had a great idea and his friend, Eduardo Saverin, had the money to do it, and also,
˝˝˝I believe, the rest of the things that happened between them and with others, are not as the movie shows... but just are the usual matters that happen in the way to success.
Costly success!
and shit happens...
The truth:
This site is different.
And indeed, it is a great reinvention... or copy... of whatever it is that was out there.
It does not matter.
It could be a kind of copy, not of the Winkevloss brothers "idea", no!, but of another socializing and networking sites that already existed when Zuckerberg was inventing it. So, what?
This only proves, that the internet is so wonderful and powerful that one can create a different, but similar site, to one already existing.
I discover that -water can make you wet- or "el agua moja".
Like when you are trying to open your own business.
What would you do?
I would go into the competitors´ websites available to copy what they have done and to improve it.
If I am a genius or a lucky person I would add something new, that would attract thousands of "customers" leaving the competitors aside. It would be something like honey to the bees.
For me, it is a matter of perfecting an idea, not a matter of inventing it.
Reinvention, would be a better word.
Anyway, to Zuckerberg my only advice, without any fee ;), as an attorney and as an honest person, is: just stay true to your self.
Nothing else matters.
