Mark Zuckerberg's Original Website Auctioned For $30,000

The web address originally used by Mark Zuckerberg while at Harvard, FaceMash.com, has sold.

Another chapter of the real-life version of events portrayed in The Social Network has been closed: The web address originally used by Mark Zuckerberg while at Harvard, FaceMash.com has sold at auction for $30,201.

Like the domain name auctioneer said on the page touting the sale, this was the opportunity to buy a piece of Internet history. Or maybe not.

Perhaps there’s very deliberate publicity strategy in allowing this URL has hit the auction block in the first place.
