Facemash Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook in his Harvard dorm room. In early 2003, Adam D'Angelo, then a Caltech student who had been Mark Zuckerberg 's best friend in high school, had developed the experimental, rudimentar y social networking website Buddy Zoo, that was used by hundreds of thousands of people before D'Angelo shut it down. That summer, Zuckerberg and friends who were also computer science students worked coding for the su m mer in Boston and discussed t he implication of D'Angelo's website's success with regard to the future of social networking on the Internet. [1] In the fall, Zuckerberg, returning for his sophomore year at Harvard , wrote CourseMatch, a briefly popular site that helped Harvard students figure ou t what courses their friends were taking; [1]  and then, on October 28, 2003, he wrote Facemash, a site that, according to the Harvard Crimson , represented a Harvard University version of Hot or Not. [2]  That night, Zuckerberg made the following blog entries: [3][4][5]  I'm a little intoxicated, not gonna lie. So what if it's not even 10 p. m. and it's a Tuesday night? What? The Kirkland [dorm] facebook is open on my deskt op and some of these p eople have pretty horrendous facebook pics. I almost want to put some of these faces next to pictures of farm animals and have people vote on which is more attractive. ²9:48 pm Yea, it's on. I'm not exactly sure how the farm animals are going to fit into this whole thi ng (you can't r eally ever be sure with farm animals...), but I like the idea of comparing two people together. ²11:09 pm Let the hacking begi n. ²12:58 am According to The Harvard Crimson, Facemash "used photos compiled from the online facebooks of nine Houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the 'hotter' person". To accomplish this, Zuckerberg hacked into the protected areas of Harvard's computer network and copied the houses' private dormitory ID images.
