How many people know how everyone's favorite appeared 'contact'? Do you think his own hands written by the Durov? You are wrong, everything is much more easier. So, the first social network of mass Use was Facebook. It was written by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004. Mark was at the time a student at Harvard, modest, intelligent and very considerate person. In just a month he wrote an entire social network, which quickly grew and eventually won the whole world.
While the Mark at his company earned millions of dollars Facebook.com about him and learned in Russia. More precisely on its social networking site. In 2006, Paul Durov literally copied facebook changed its appearance, and removing some services, naming a new social network VKontakte. Initially, the contact was for Paul's classmates (just like the story of facebook), and only later began to grow and be accessible to all. As if everything is exactly the history of facebook. Although contact to assert their rights after being accused of plagiarism, but its origin is uncertain.
