Saverin and Zuckerberg meet fellow student Christy Lee, who asks them to "Facebook me", a phrase that impresses them. They raise their complaint with Harvard President Larry Summers, who is dismissive and sees no value in either disciplinary action on The Facebook. When they learn of The Facebook, the Winklevoss twins and Narendra are incensed, believing that Zuckerberg stole their idea while misleading them by stalling development on the Harvard Connection website. Saverin provides $1,000 in seed funding, allowing Zuckerberg to build the website, which quickly becomes popular. Zuckerberg approaches his friend Eduardo Saverin with an idea for The Facebook, a social networking website that would be exclusive to Ivy League students. The trio invites Zuckerberg to work on Harvard Connection, a social network exclusive to Harvard students and aimed at dating. However, Facemash's popularity attracts the attention of twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and their business partner Divya Narendra. After traffic to the site crashes parts of Harvard's computer network, Zuckerberg is given six months of academic probation. He creates a campus website called Facemash by hacking into college databases to steal photos of female students, then allowing site visitors to rate their attractiveness. Returning to his dorm, Zuckerberg writes an insulting post about Albright on his LiveJournal blog. On October 28, 2003, 19-year-old Harvard University sophomore Mark Zuckerberg is dumped by his girlfriend Erica Albright. While no official sequel has been announced, Sorkin has publicly expressed interest and willingness to write a screenplay for one should Fincher return to direct.
