Probably not, what Mark Zuckerberge was doing, when he was 22.

At age of 22, his start-up “Facebook” ( http://www.facebook.com ) had surpassed 3 million user mark. Age of 22, guys !!

I can’t stop praising the entrepreneurial spirit of this guy. Smart thinking and passion for technology. What started as a tool in Harvard School became world’s 2nd largest social networking website and currently, it is having exploding growth ( As of Oct 2007, facebook has more then 30 million users!) . I am personally quite impressed about product design of Facebook, information presentation and simplicity of interface. In terms of usability, it is gaining more and more popularity compared to its rival MySpace.

Read here why he is considered to be “No 1″ agenda setter for 2007 by Silicon.com. Don’t be surprised, if I keep writing more about Facebook and Mark.

Zuckerberg is arguably the embodiment of what 2006’s Agenda Setters panel described as “the next generation” - ranked in second place last year. The 2006 panel described the generation as “more networked”, “more open” and “more fickle” than previous ones.

Zuckerberg actually started work on Facebook while still a student at Harvard, and famously dropped out to concentrate his energies on his web 2.0 baby.

Facebook began life as a tool for Harvard’s student base, before being opened up to other US universities and employers, and then last year to anyone in the world with an email address.

Membership of the site has been growing apace ever since, and while it still trails rival MySpace, there is talk - in the UK at least - of Facebook catching up soon
