The Accidental Billionaires(100-150)

Summary
The twins find out about Mark's creation of thefacebook and they are livid. They feel as if he has ripped them off. They attempt to shut down the site and threaten Mark if he does not, but all of this does not affect Mark one bit. It has been decided that Eduardo will handle the business side of things and also the financial side of the company and given a 30 percent share. Mark and Eduardo feel like since they have already conquered Harvard, that it is time for them to try and conquer different colleges such as Yale and Columbia. While Eduardo and Mark are basking in their happiness, the twins have decided that they are not going down without a fight. They attempt to bring the matter to the President of Harvard University but he just blows them off. Another person is also introuduced to the mix, and this person is Sean Parker the founder of Napster which was a website that let college kids everywhere get whatever music they wanted for free, in the privacy of their own dorm rooms. Napster was a huge success, but it caused Sean Parker a lot of trouble. Now, he is looking to move on, and Facebook, might just be his new thing.

Quote
"[Thefacebook] was insinuating itself into everyone's routine...It was really such an amazing tool lubricating the social scene"(Mezrich 110).

Reaction
Mezrich does an excellent job of describing how much Facebook affected people lives then, and is a perfect example of how much it is affecting our lives now. He turns Facebook into a person and uses personification to show it wiggles itself into everything that we do. It becomes a part of everyone's routine; from when they wake up in the morning, to when they go to sleep at night. However, Mezrich's introduction of a new charecter to late in the story kind of confused me, but it also made for an intense story line because we now have the perspectives of at least 5 different people. This also means that all of the bases are covered in terms of how Facebook got to be where it is, and no stones are left unturned.
