Who and Where are those early Facebook people?
December 15, 2008
Here’s an interesting tidbit about Facebook: you can see the the people that joined early. gosh, lots of them are from Hahvahd…
ok, i’m looking at URLs for some reason. go to facebook; surf a few pages; now look at your url — what a mess!
oh, look: that id parameter is hanging out there for anyone to ‘adjust’.
let’s see who id=4 is: Mark Zukerberg, FB founder
his neighbor id=5 is: Chris Hughes, co-founder
id=6 also works at FB: Dustin Moskovitz. oh, wikipedia says yet another co-founder
you get the idea. those ids are like a company directory for early Facebook joiners and employees…
btw, here’s an article that discusses the security hole caused by this (actually, i only scanned it so i just have a vague impression of the contents ).
