It's kind of bizarre sometimes when I think about how I got into facebook in the spring of 2004. I was a sophomore at Cornell at the time, and I don't feel like anyone talks about this that much anymore now that facebook is all-inclusive and so widespread, but we really only got interested in it because it had come out of Harvard and Zuckerberg had started by adding most of the other Ivies and famous top tier universities (Stanford, MIT, etc.) first.

It kind of like getting into an invitation-only country club at the time. It was a bit silly, but that was what facebook's original identity was built around.

I'm 80% sure that facebook would have gone nowhere had Zuckerberg not been at Harvard when he started it.
