Before Facebook, what was the working title of the project?

Before Facebook, the working title of the project was "Facemash." Facemash was a website created by Mark Zuckerberg in October 2003 while he was a student at Harvard University. It allowed users to compare photos of their classmates and rate their attractiveness. However, Facemash was short-lived and was shut down by Harvard after just a few days due to privacy concerns and objections from university administrators. Following the shutdown of Facemash, Zuckerberg and his co-founders shifted their focus to developing a social networking platform, which eventually became Facebook.

Before it was called Facebook, the project was initially referred to as "Facemash." Facemash was a website that Mark Zuckerberg created in October 2003 while he was a student at Harvard University. It allowed users to compare photos of two Harvard students side-by-side and choose who they thought was "hotter." Facemash was controversial and faced criticism for its lack of privacy and ethical concerns. After its brief existence, Zuckerberg shifted his focus to creating a social networking platform that would eventually become Facebook.
