These amazing things may not you know about the facebook man- Zukerberg

=Born in New York, Zuckerberg has three sisters, Randi, Donna and Arielle. His father is a dentist and his mother a psychiatrist.

 2#He started programming when he was young

3# He is red/green colourblind 

=Zuckerberg suffers from red/green colour blindness, which means the colour he can most easily see is blue - no surprise then, that Facebook is blue.

 4#His first popular site breached security and violated privacy
=While studying at Harvard, Zuckerberg built a "hot or not" website, called Facemash, that took online photos from facebooks of the college's Houses.

6# The Social Network was a metaphor

=Released in 2010, the film The Social Network had the strapline "You don't get 500 million friends without making a few enemies" and portrayed Zuckerberg in a less than flattering light.
