In one of the online discussions they held with his friends, Zuckerberg talked about online dating that he was to create for some seniors from Harvard, and about "the deal with Facebook." Discussion below, sent exclusively to Business Insider, takes place in 2003, between the CEO of the network today and Adam D'Angelo, the best friend in high school.

The two talk about how it should look "thing with Facebook."

"Zuckerberg: Now I know how this dating site

Zuckerberg: I wonder how similar is this thing with Facebook. Because, most likely, will be launched simultaneously.

Zuckerberg: Only if I stop dating site before you say that.

D'Angelo: Ha ha (laughs)

Zuckerberg: I think that people would register on Facebook if they find that it is a dating site. People are skeptical when it comes to online dating.

Zuckerberg: On the other hand, this boy dealing with dating site will promote it very well. I wonder which is ideal.

Zuckerberg: I think Facebook would attract many people but will be released simultaneously with the other site. In this case, both things will fail and nobody will conquer. Any ideas? Possible to strengthen them both.

D'Angelo: To combine them in a friendly platform. Stanford has something similar, but only works for them.

Zuckerberg: I thought to do that with Facebook.

D'Angelo: Aha.

Zuckerberg: I hate to have to do that to people. What I do not like to work in subordination to others. I feel like the right thing you should do is to finish Facebook and wait until the last day when, theoretically, should finish their site and then to tackle an attitude of 'genu' Look, your idea does not is very brilliant. If you want to join me in this thing, you can do it. That way, I'll help you later with your platform. " I do think it is a scam?

D'Angelo: I think we should simply get rid of them.

Zuckerberg: The thing is they have a programmer who can finish the site and also have money to promote rest. But hold on ... and I have money. My friend, who wants to be a sponsor, is head of investment companies. A very good result, is money.

D'Angelo: lol (laugh) "
