The story of Facebook (via @mashable)

Today Facebook is on the tips of everybody’s lips. I remember similar stories about Microsoft and Mr Bill Gates, specifically about how the idea of Microsoft was stolen from a friend or something like that (please forgive my dodgy memory here).  ”The Social Network” promises to be an inside look into the rise of Mark Zuckerberg and ‘his’ creation Facebook.

A review by Michael Calore, contributor to blogs such Mashable and Wired scores the movie highly. The opening line of his report reads as follow: “In the long-running battle between gritty hacker realism and Hollywood’s fantastical depiction of computer programming, The Social Network puts a big notch in the win column.”

Besides Michael Calore Rotten Tomatoes a film review website reports that 98% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 54 reviews, scoring the film a 9.4/10 stating:

“The Social Network has received universal acclaim” also,

“Impeccably scripted, beautifully directed, and filled with fine performances, The Social Network is a riveting, ambitious example of modern filmmaking at its finest.”

The question we have is why is there no movie linked to Google, Microsoft or Apple for that matter.  Either way I will be rounding up some geek friends (as suggested) to watch the movie.

Cheers,
