Saw "The Social Network"

i didn't even understand how he got screwed... he got a higher share (like 5%) in exchange for his lot of shares to be dilutable, but others weren't?

so when dilution happened his got way diluted?

also we were all on myspace for a good year if not more before facebook hit open public (non college) so the social networking idea was already huge, and easy to see. facebook surely perfected it


Sam,

i did have a college roommate who was a math major who sat wired in in front of his pc day and night smoking marlboro reds drinking coke... complete with 0 social interaction abilities... so i kind of knew the type.. made it more interesting to me

any movie that is based on a true story, is great to me

same here.. if it happened and it's subject matter that interests me, i dont know how i could dislike it.

so no matter how shitty a movie is if it's based on a true story you guys are going to like it? Like I said this makes no sense.

nah, Sal's right, Eduardo kinda f'ed up since he was thinking he would get investors from MAdison Avenue, an outdated approach when every techie is out on California and would be able to comprehend exactly what the company is doing

it wasn't about the techies in cali its about the vcs, eduardo fucked up by not coming to cali, not recoginizing sean parker's vision/value and failing to control and/or unite with parker and failing to lawyer up before signing docs to a half-million dollar company that you fully capitalized at 18k

sometimes learning is fun.. even from a shitty book or movie

in a way i agree with them, no matter how bad this movie could have been, the fact that it showed some/any insight into the idea-to-investment process would make it a masterpiece for me
