Celebrating the unprecedented success of this marvel man of social media by the name “Mark Zuckerberg”, check out these incredibly intriguing facts about Zuckerberg.
1) Mark Zuckerberg was born in New York, to Karen and Edward Zuckerberg. His mother Karen Kempner Zuckerberg is a psychiatrist and father Edward is a dentist. Quite inevitably, their son had to be a genius.
2) While studying at Harward University, Zuckerberg built a “hot or not” website, called Facemash, that took online photos from facebooks of the college’s Houses. Users were then asked to select which one they thought was “hotter”. There was a massive backlash and Zuckerberg was banned from access to Harvard’s internet and accused of breaching security and individual privacy.
3) Zuckerberg has been suffering from red and green color blindness and blue is one of the colors which he can see clearly. Henceforth, we see a lot of blue when we open Facebook. From the logo to the background, blue is the only color which we can see when we open facebook.
4) To drop out of one of the greatest universities on this planet is obviously a hard choice to make. But Zuckerberg did take that hard choice and left Harvard University to pursue his dreams. Zuckerberg initially started the website to help the students of the college connect with each other and later on in 2005, he bought the domain facebook.com and the rest as they say is history.
