This program helped his father to communicate with his clients to give them needed information, and hia family also used to communicate with each other within house. He also made a game with his friends wgich could be played on computer. To keep him related with computers or to make his ongoing interest with computer his father called a computer tutor David Newman to come to his house and to see what Mark is upto and to teach him something new. He continued to work on developing programs. While he was in high school he made a music program which he called synapse. Many companies showed their interest in buying that software, even Microsoft and AOL also showed great interest buying that software. They also showed interest in hiring him before his graduation, but mark denied all offers. Time at Harvard. Mark Zukerberg got enrolled in Harvard in 2002, there he developed a program on his campus. He also made a program which helped students to choose their class on related course. He also invented a program to choose the best picture by comparing two pictures. This program became more popular but this program couldn't last longer because their school administration closed this program by feeling it inappropriate. He and his three friends thought of making a social software like thing which they named Harvard connection. But he soon dropped out to work on his own Social networking website with his friend Dustin Mosovitz, Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin. They all collectively made a website which allowed users to make their own profile, upload pictures and communicate with each other. By the end of 2004, Facebook had around 1 million users.

Zukerberg's company received a big boost from venture capital firm Accel partners. Accel invested $13 million in Zukerberg's enterprise, but it was only available to Lvy league students. Later Zukerberg's company gave permission to other institutes, and Facebook users exceeded to 5.5 million people by December 2005. Facebook got many offers from many companies like yahoo and MTV to use their ads on Facebook, but Facebook denied all the offers. Facebook got into a major hurdle when the creators of Harvard connection claimed that Zukerberg stole their idea, but later on after much research all those claims were turned down and Zukerberg said he regretted all those who put foul words on him. Kn his interview with a New Yorker he said, "if you are building a networking on which a huge no. of people rely then you have to be mature".
