A US judge will decide next week whether Mark Zuckerberg should go to court after three former classmates accused him of stealing the idea, software and business plan for the social networking website. The three former Harvard students say 23-year-old Zuckerberg stole the idea for the site while working as a programmer on their own social-networking site - called ConnectU, the UK Registar reported. If successful, Facebook could be shut down it was suggested.

Social networking sites are so plentiful and similar these days, for sure there is some ambiguity, but lets not get mad over it: he was faster than you, he wins, you loose, that's the way it goes.

PULL THE PLUG FOR ME PLEASE.
