Mark Zuckerberg's first website



    It is known that Mark Zuckerberg, who even created a social networking site Facebook in his student dormitory, 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 Synapse Media Player, which is able to predict the user's musical preferences based on the artificial intelligence system. Microsoft and AOL tried to buy the program and hire Mark, but he chose to work in the industry giants training at no less prestigious Harvard.

    At the Dreevoo.com forum, they remembered Mark 's very early website, allowing him to notice his young talent and possible disposition to work in the field of social networks. Page calledMark's Homepage was hosted 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 half-joking text:

    Hi, my name is ... Slim Shady. [The famous alter ego of rapper Eminem - approx. Per.] 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 have just finished my first year in high school. I rewrote this website to make it more accessible to search engines. I am trying to advertise my new Vader Fader program for the AOL messenger, which can be downloaded from this site. This is a good fader. If you have any comments on this website, or on the Java applets on it, or on the Vader Fader that I am promoting, please write to me. My email address is at the bottom of this page.


    There are several Java applets on the site both in the role of content and as decorations. For example, Cow-a-Bungee , created by Mark for the scientific olympiad, offers to experimentally obtain the length of the thread at which the object is as close as possible to the red line, without touching it.

    A page with a molecular viewer, created after an exciting lesson in biochemistry. Mark promises to correct inaccuracies in the next school year, when the chemistry course begins.



    In connection with the future of Mark's schoolboy connected with Facebook, the Web page is of most interest. This is a graphical 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 already 14 years ago?



    Mark Zuckerberg's first website is still running (Java is recommended for viewing). Despite the clumsy traditions of Web 1.0 to host a huge number of animated gifs and texts of acid colors in the Comic Sans font, the teenager Mark kept the site in a pleasant form for 1999.
