Simplicio:
When Zuckerberg started on the project, two other programmers had already spent almost exactly a year on it. And then Zuckerberg took another three months. Granted all three were students and not working on it full time, but it obviously did take a material amount of time.
2 guys can screw around for as long as they want. There isn’t enough functionality in those original apps to keep anyone busy for 2 years, there simply isn’t.
Zuckerberg for 3 months part time=6 weeks.
MySpace with a few developers=10 days.
When these things were launched they were tiny applications.

So what about the ethics of this?
Twins: We have this idea and we want to hire you to work on it. Will you do it?
I would never do that because I consider it dishonest (which was my point earlier, that Zuckerberg probably did (IMO) screw the twins).
Are you asking me because in your opinion that is ok?

Mark’s a jerk, the twins are idiots.
