The service allows students to rate themselves and their potential mates in categories ranging from sex drive to "socialisticbutterflyosity." "

Really shows the incredible privilege and connections he had, so early in his life, that catapulted FB over all the other budding social networks.

It's always about who you know to give your work wings (which is apt, since his project was a social network)

If you really go back and do some digging into the roots of facebook, you'll be amazed at how much press he got early on. He supposedly offered to do computer support work for the Harvard Crimson and in return he got press connections. Even before he launched thefacebook, he was getting write ups with facemash.
