  • you can't believe everything you see, especially on Facebook.

  • Welcome to watch Mojo.

  • And today we'll be counting down our picks for the top 10 things the Social Network got factually right and wrong for this list will be looking at what was historically accurate and what was fiction in this 2010 drama.

  • Number 10 Mark went to a meeting in pajamas.

  • Right?

  • In the book The Facebook Effect, author David Kirkpatrick outlines the history of the Social Media Network and confirms that Zuckerberg did in fact, attend a meeting in pajamas.

  • You sure about this?

  • You're 20 minutes late walking Nancy overslept.

  • And in that time to get dressed.

  • The entire thing was a prank that Sean Parker had convinced sucker Berg to play on venture capitalist firm Sequoia Capital.

  • Parker wanted revenge on Michael Moritz, a partner at Sequoia whom he blamed for ousting him from his previous company.

  • Plaques out.

  • Okay, Zuckerberg and another partner turned up late and made a presentation about why Sequoia shouldn't invest in one of their projects.

  • Zuckerberg later admitted that he regretted it and that it was a story he wasn't proud of.

  • Number nine.

  • Mark's love life wrong When Mark Zuckerberg was in his sophomore year at Harvard.

  • He met Priscilla Chan at a frat in 2003 and the two soon started dating.

  • They eventually married in 2012.

  • Interestingly, the action of the social network kicks off in the fall of 2003 and show Zuckerberg being dumped, which spurs him to create Facemash.

  • I'm not dating, you know it's not, while part of this is true.

  • More on that later, the film later show Zuckerberg is developing Facebook, partly to meet girls, when in fact, by that point, he had already started dating his future wife.

  • Some center.

  • You know, that's what the Facebook is gonna be about.

  • We're gonna log on because after all the cake and watermelon, there's a chance they're actually gonna get laid.

  • A girl number eight.

  • Eduardo froze the Facebook bank account right In the movie, we see Eduardo Severin opposing Sean Parker's involvement in Facebook's business dealings and then freezing Facebook's accounts.

  • Can I help you?

  • I'd like to freeze this bank account and cancel all existing checks and lines.

  • This did actually happen, and Zuckerberg was forced to pay for many expenses using his personal funds.

  • What happened next, however, isn't entirely accurate.

  • And the film Sabirin is enraged when he finds out his shares are being decreased from 34% 2.3%.

  • And what was your ownership share diluted down to 0.3%.

  • His shares were diluted drastically, but down to 10%.

  • In an email to his lawyer at the time, Zuckerberg wondered, Is there a way to do this without making it painfully apparent to him that he's being diluted to 10%?

  • No, there was not a better lawyer up, asshole, because I'm not coming back for 30%.

  • I'm coming back.

  • Number seven marks business, Card said.

  • I'm CEO bitch right.

  • In a scene that takes place in a club, Zuckerberg meets with Sean Parker of Napster fame, and Parker gives him an inspirational speech about his hopes for Facebook, saying he wants him to be ableto handled.

  • A business card that says I'm CEO Bitch way later, see Mark having cards made with the phrase on them.

  • In Kirkpatrick's book, The Facebook Effect.

  • He states that Zuckerberg had two different business cards during this period.

  • One simply said CEO, while the other really did read I'm CEO bitch.

  • What's the package?

  • I think number six Facemash was shut down by Harvard, Right?

  • Just like in the movie, The humble origins of Facebook involved a rather cruel site that Mark set up that compared to female Harvard students photos so that users could vote on who was more attractive.

  • My roommate.

  • And just like in the movie, it was an instant success, with 450 people visiting the site in the 1st 4 hours it was running.

  • As we see more and more students using it, we also see the concern of the administration at the Surgeon Network usage.

  • Harvard did eventually shut down the site, and Zuckerberg was given academic probation as a punishment.

  • Six months Academic probation.

  • Well example.

  • Number five.

  • How Sean Parker discovered Facebook Wrong.

  • It's true that Sean Parker, who is known for co founding Napster, played a major role in the early days of Facebook.

  • In fact, he was its first president.

  • In a memorable scene from the movie, we see Parker wake up in bed after a one night stand with a girl who goes to Stanford.

  • He allows her when he reveals who he is, and then discovers Facebook when he logs into her computer and sees that she's been using it.

  • Amy yeah, didn't come out here in real life, though.

  • Parker's roommates girlfriend was the Stanford student who introduced him to the site.

  • What's that?

  • Facebook staffers had it for like two weeks.

  • Now It's really awesome, except it's great.

  • Number four.

  • Eduardo's Chicken Cannibalism Accusation.

  • Wrong In the movie, Eduardo Severin is hilariously accused of animal cruelty in an article published in the Harvard Crimson.

  • I can't have this.

  • Come on, man.

  • This is bullshit.

  • This is another club.

  • The writers are incensed that savin fed chicken to a chicken while taking care of the animal for his initiation into the Phoenix club, the Harvard Crimson did publish an article about Phoenix Club and Chickens in December 2003.

  • I took little pieces of chicken and I gave it to the chicken.

  • Someone must have seen me because the next thing I knew I was being accused of forced cannibals.

  • But it was about claims that the club tortured and killed chickens, not chicken cannibalism, and there was nothing about savin.

  • And they're so this part of the movie is mostly false.

  • I knew you didn't.

  • You planted that story about the chicken in the story.

  • What's he talking about?

  • Number three.

  • Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard right on screen.

  • We saw the whirlwind journey from Mark's Harvard dorm to Silicon Valley, and it's shown that Mark chooses to focus on his new company rather than his studies.

  • This is factually accurate.

  • And in order to pursue his work on Facebook, Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard during his sophomore year and did not return.

  • Every found a house for rent on a street two blocks from the Stanford campus is perfect, and it's got When did you decide to go to California?

  • Number two Eduardo Severin was marks on Lee Best Friend Wrong in the social network.

  • Mark, you never split up.

  • How did you know that?

  • It's on your block Savin set of the film in an interview.

  • That's Hollywood fantasy, not a documentary.

  • The reality is, Zuckerberg had another close friend and collaborator who didn't make it into the movie.

  • Adam D'Angelo was a friend of Mark's from Exeter and was the chief technology officer of Facebook as well as its vice president of engineering.

  • Don't worry about D'Angelo, though, because he found plenty of success when he co founded Cora.

  • The potential.
