Weekend readings: Facebook and Entrepreneurship

Hi, just enjoyed the weekend putting my readings on time, and i must say, some of the readings were just superb.

1. Finished reading the book “The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal (Hardcover)”Link to Amazon

The story is just great! A lot of tricks and leaving people behind scenes, always with a goal in mind, make Facebook one of the biggest websites live, i believe that the result speaks by himself. A must read, for sure a 8 in 10.
