Zuckerberg college roommate missed Facebook opportunity: father against

By Jerri Lily


Social network Facebook founder Mark - Zuckerberg college roommate Joe - Green disclose that he did not take part in the Facebook: because that the failure project of co-operation with Zuckerberg and his father did not agree with their business because he dropped out of school, Green ultimately rejected the kind invitation of Zuckerberg.

In 2004, both Green and Zuckerberg were the closest roommates and friends when they studied at Harvard University, until now they are still very good friends. Zuckerberg invited Green to give up their studies with him and founded social network Facebook at that time.

However, Green finally listened to his father's advice, and stay at school and study at Harvard, and his good friends Zuckerberg went to Silicon Valley started his billionaire dream. With the upcoming Facebook, Zuckerberg, now 27 years old, he has worthy of about $ 17.5 billion.

Green said, because the previous cooperation projects with Zuckerberg Facemash brought them the big trouble, so he decided not to participate in Zuckerberg's Facebook project.

And Facemash website is mainly used to evaluate female student body "is hot or not." "Our cooperation in this project previously brought us some trouble, and my professor father does not agree with me that dropped out of school to start our business." Greene said. "Until now, Zuckerberg also often made fun of my father for this, although I have not joined Facebook, but we have been very close relationship between us."

Later, Green helped John - Kerry run for U.S. president, the results are in failure.

However, Green was even better on his career. He now operates a multi-million dollar venture company, it called Causes, and it is designed to help users through Facebook and other social networking sites get money from charities. Maybe Green did not attend the business that the Facebook have, but Green help the Facebook on any aspects. We guess that Green and Zuckerberg have the cooperation at that time, Facebook will lead the communication website all over the world. Now, they runs different company and have the similar business, in the future, they will help each other.
