Mark Zuckerberg creates Facebook from his Harvard dorm room in 2004.
On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched TheFacebook, a new website. He titled the website after the university student directories that were distributed to enable people get to know one another better. Six days later, he was accused of stealing the concepts for an upcoming social networking website named HarvardConnection by Harvard juniors Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra. The claimants then launched a lawsuit against Zuckerberg, but the case was resolved outside of court.
