It was late December 2005 in Palo Alto, California, and Silicon Valley’s newest wunderkind wasn’t feeling the holiday glee. Upstairs in a busy loft decorated with Christmas lights and Family Guy posters, Facebook’s 21-year-old founder Mark Zuckerberg ambled from an elevator. I had come to talk with him about his life and site, which was just then gaining steam. He was followed by his business partner and former Harvard roommate, Dustin Moskovitz, on a Razor scooter.

“You want to ask us some questions about sexual harassment?” Zuckerberg asked me, half-jokingly, as he flopped into a chair and kicked off his worn Adidas sandals. Moskovitz brandished a fistful of papers with an impish grin. The two had just left a lengthy seminar on the subject, a requirement for doing business here and a small part of being the Internet’s next big thing.
