Mark Zuckerberg's first website



It is known that Mark Zuckerberg, who had already created a social networking site Facebook at the student dormitory, who made him the youngest dollar billionaire in history as a teenager, was fond of programming. For example, in high school, calling himself the company Intelligent Media Group, he created the player Synapse Media Player, able to anticipate the user's musical preferences based on an artificial intelligence system. Microsoft and AOL tried to buy the program and hire Mark, but he preferred to work in the giants of the industry to study at no less prestigious Harvard.

At the forum, Dreevoo.com remembered Mark’s very early website, which allowed him to notice his young talent and possible propensity to work in the field of social networks. The page called Mark's Homepage was placed on the Angelfire service in 1999, when the future billionaire was only 15 years old.

The About section of this Web 1.0 monument contains the following laughable text:

Hi, my name is ... Slim Shady. [The famous alter ego of rapper Eminem - approx. lane.] No, really, my name is Slim Shady. Just kidding, my name is Mark (for those who know me), and I live in a small town near huge New York. I am now 15 years old and I just finished my first year in high school. I rewrote this website to make it more accessible to search engines. I'm trying to advertise my new Vader Fader program for AOL messenger, which can be downloaded from this site. This is a nice fader. If you have any comments on this website, or on Java applets on it or on Vader Fader, which I promote, please write to me. My email address is located at the bottom of this page.


There are several Java applets on the site, both as content and as decorations. For example, Cow-a-Bungee , created by Mark for the scientific Olympiad, offers, by experience, to get the length of the thread, at which the object will come as close as possible to the red line, without touching it.

The page with the molecular browser, created after a fascinating study of biochemistry. Mark promises to correct inaccuracies in the next academic year, when the chemistry course begins.



In connection with the future schoolboy Mark, associated with Facebook, the most interesting is the Web page. This is a graphic representation of the social connections of Mark himself and other people. In the description of the page, Zuckerberg offers those interested in adding to the graph to write to him by mail and expresses the hope that the Network will expand. Does this mean that Mark had a social network concept 14 years ago?



Mark Zuckerberg's first website is still running (it is recommended to install Java for viewing). Despite the coarse traditions of Web 1.0, to place on the pages a huge number of animated gif images and text in acidic colors, typed in Comic Sans, the teenager Mark endured the site in a pleasant for 1999 way.
