Case Study 1: The FaceBook, Inc., v. ConnectU
Who do you think should be known as one who came up with the original idea for social
networking?
According to the case study and considering the different situations, it can be stated
that Tyler Wlnklevoss and Cameron Winklevoss the twin brother are the ones who came up
with the original idea for the social networking. According to their point of view they stated
that Mark Zuckerberg had stolen the idea and introduced Facebook as one of the social
networking site (Kotabe & Kothari, 2016). The ConnectU were initially working for two long
years before Mark Zuckerberg introduced the Facebook site. Both the ConnectU and
Facebook are the operators of social networking platform. The Facebook had claimed that the
ConnectU accessed all the email associated with the account of the Facebook users. After
accessing the emails the ConnectU had sent emails to the users. There were number of
complaints against the ConnectU. There were total of seven cases out of which the ConnectU
were able to dismiss five cases. However, according to the research the twin brothers were
the original one who came up with the idea of the social networking platform.
Which is more important: the idea or the execution of the idea?
The execution of the idea is important than the idea. The execution is one of the
important aspect. The execution helps in facing the different type of hurdles while it is
implemented in reality. According to the particular case study it can be stated that the
execution is more important. The twin brothers had original conceived the idea for a social
networking site. The main idea for the invention of such platform was too connect the
students of the Harvard University with the student from other universities. However, due to
lack of the professionals’ programmers the code related with the website was incomplete.

few years it was seen that Mark Zuckerberg invented his own social networking website
named as the Facebook. It was observed that the ideas incorporated in the Facebook was
based on the idea proposed by the Winklevoss. However, the execution of the ideas is
important as the idea can be easily used by others without the permission of the person who
originated the idea.
