Eduardo is at a party trying to gain access to the Phoenix club. He remembers an earlier party where Mark Zuckerberg attended but couldn't talk to anyone. |
Mark is obsessed with getting into the Phoenix club. He talks with Erica about it. We never see him at any party trying to punch in. |
|
Mark writes in his blog about a girl he calls X. She has rejected him. He calls her a bitch and says he needs to get his mind off of her. |
Mark uses Erica's full name in his blog. We see Erica dump Mark in the beginning of the film. He goes much further than calling her a bitch. He says that her breasts are smaller than he thought because of help from a push up bra.
|
|
Eduardo meets Mark at the Jewish fraternity house they are both part of. |
This isn't mentioned. Mark and Eduardo are already friends. |
|
Mark relishes coming up with the algorithm to compare the girls to each other for facemash.com |
Eduardo returns after reading that Mark has been dumped on his blog. Mark asks him for the algorithm he used for his chess ranking program. He uses it for facemash.com
|
|
After Mark finishes facemash.com he emails it to a few friends to get their impression. He has no intention of it going viral. |
Mark and his roommates intend to send it out to everyone so they can all see it. |
