Accidental Billionaires

Chances are that you, your kid, your brother, or plenty of other people you know use Facebook.  This library even has a Facebook page.  But what’s funny is that the two founders of one of the most recognized social networking tools don’t even really like each other.  at least, that’s what Ben Mezrich’s book, Accidental Billionaires, claims.  In it, you’ll discover an account that begins with the hacking of a Harvard student image database to rank how hot the female students are, and ends with the youngest billionaire ever.  That’s a lot of ground to cover in the middle, but should be an interesting read for anyone with a Facebook profile or an interest in social networking.

Or getting rich quick.
