#TacticalLife MARK ZUCKERBERG - Microsoft and AOL both wanted to hire Zuckerberg after he co-developed a music app called Synapse Media Player while he was still at High School. They reportedly offered him $1million but he instead he chose to attend Harvard University, where he developed Facebook with his roommates Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes in 2004. - Inevitably the Facebook chief executive has his own profile. What does it tell us about him? Apparently he likes making things, breaking things, minimalism, eliminating desire and information flow. His favourite musicians include Daft Punk and Lady Gaga and he can read and write four non-English languages: French, Chinese, Latin and ancient Greek. It is reportedly impossible to block Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook. - Success didn’t come first time. While studying psychology at Harvard in 2003 the young Zuckerberg developed Facemash, a website that asked users to judge how attractive students were based on their dormitory directory photographs. The site didn’t go down well with the authorities and many students, but the domain name still sold for £18,000 in 2010. - He met his wife Priscilla Chan in the queue for the bathroom at a college party after joining the Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi. She said her first impression of him was that “he was this nerdy guy who was just a little bit out there”. Chan was one of the first people to join Facebook on February 5, 2004. - Zuckerberg may have been nerdy but he knew the way to a woman’s heart. He started to learn Chinese in 2010 so he could communicate with Chan’s family and he designed her wedding ring - a ruby flanked on either side by diamonds. The couple married on May 19, 2012. #Strongville
