We already know the meaning of social networking. So let move to the main topic which is The Social Network. The Social Network known to many as "The Facebook Movie". The film about Facebook and its founder is well written by Aaron Sorkin, well directed by David Fincher and well acted by Jesse Eisenberg. The Social Network is not about the creation of one of the internet’s most successful websites. It’s not about becoming the world’s youngest billionaire. It’s not about greed and it’s not about power. The Social Network is a film about the inescapable need for acceptance inside each one of us.

What makes Mark Zuckerberg run? In “The Social Network,” David Fincher’s fleet, weirdly funny, exhilarating, alarming and fictionalized look at the man behind the social-media phenomenon Facebook.

"The Social Network" begins by positing that it was a very specific social resentment that got Mark Zuckerberg started on his road to billions. The film opens at an undergraduate bar near the Harvard campus in the fall of 2003 with Zuckerberg getting dumped by his girlfriend Erica. 

Furious at this rejection, Zuckerberg stomps back to his dorm and, with the help of roommate and best friend Eduardo Saverin, he started to take revenge by doing some hacking and coming up with Facemash, a site that enables students to vote on which Harvard women are the hottest. It gets 22,000 hits in two hours and crashes the university's system.

That action attracts the attention of two of the school's elite, rowers and identical twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The twins and their friend, Divya Narendra hires him to work on a university dating service they have in mind called Harvard Connection. After that, his Harvard classmates, the twins asserted that Zuckerberg stole their idea and then sued him for ownership of it.

Later, Zuckerberg, funded by best friend Saverin and starts "thefacebook," which eventually morphs into you know.
