Saturday, August 16th, 2008
Winklevoss Brothers Tyler and Cameron, the founders of ConnectU, a social networking site for students, were part of the U.S. rowing team for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and scored themselves 6th place.
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are best known for suing Facebook – another useless social networking site claiming the Mark Zuckerberg, SEO of Facebook stole their idea and some of the code to create Facebook, which then grew to become one of the most popular and most useless sites on the net. The lawsuit was somewhat settled but The Winklevoss brothers contested the settlement later on because they just don’t give up. Well, good luck to them.
The Winklevoss brothers made it to the finals of the Olympic rowing competition but ended 6th out of 6. But it still has to count for something. Aussies won the gold.
