Not Zuckerberg? Meet Divya Narendra, who claimed Facebook was originally his idea
- In 2002, Indian-American Harvard student Divya Narendra began working on a social network for university students.
- Narendra worked with twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss to create HarvardConnection, later renamed ConnectU, for Harvard students.
- They brought Mark Zuckerberg into the project in 2003 to help with coding, but he launched his own site, Facebook, in February 2004.
- Narendra and the twins accused Zuckerberg of taking their idea. The dispute later ended in a reported $65 million settlement.
