In yesterday’s post I mention how Mark, the CEO of Facebook is being sued for allegedly stealing source code from ConnectU.com. There has been some discussion in the blogosphere that this just isn’t possible — after all look how clean, fresh, and easy to use Facebook is compared to ConnectU.com.

I beg to differ, Facebook didn’t always look the way it does today. Here is a screenshot from 2004 when Facebook was actually called “TheFacebook.com”.

So, did Mark steal the code to launch his own social networking website? Who knows. You can check out all the past screenshots of thefacebook.com by going to here.
