In a bid to settle its score with ConnectU, Facebook paid $65 million to pull the zip up the the lawsuits against Facebook. Mark Zuckerbeg, founder of Facebook had been accused of stealing profile page designs, etc and bringing them to Facebook after he left working for the startup. I guess the reason why Facebook paid the sum to ConnectU founders; Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who had been running after Facebook accusing it of cheating the entire concept. What nonsense? I mean if ConnectU really had such brilliant ideas, why didn’t they implement it before Facebook did?  I hate saying this, but the two brothers don’t really look brainy enough to transform social networking, or even mutate it. No hard feelings, it’s just my opinion.
