Let's not forget that the famous privacy-breaching and disgusting Facebook, originally named Facemash, was created by Mark Zuckerberg in 2003 with the main purpose of comparing the attractiveness of Harvard's female students.

@benfulton @carnage4life Correct, the real beginning is Facemash. IIRC it even appears in The Social Network movie.

2003 report from Harvard's student newspaper:

"The site was created entirely by Zuckerberg over the last week in October, after a friend gave him the idea. The website used photos compiled from the online facebooks of nine Houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the “hotter” person."
