Muchety-much! But, so far I have come up peanuts in grabbing an early copy of the work of "fact"-ion--titled "The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal"--which is set to come out July 14, along with a movie later.

Facebook is not pleased, of course, and will likely be challenging Mezrich's work as specious dreck, but here's my own list of 10 completely made-up, utterly fabricated, just-call-me-Jayson-Blair facts that should be in the book.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/06/accidentalbillionairesjpg.jpeg"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/06/accidentalbillionairesjpg-201x300.jpg" alt="accidentalbillionairesjpg" title="accidentalbillionairesjpg" width="201" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14962" /></a></p>
<p>How much is BoomTown and everyone else in Silicon Valley trying to nab a copy of Ben Mezrich&#8217;s likely-to-be-entirely-made-up-but-who-cares tale of dirty doings at Facebook?</p>
<p><em>Muchety-much!</em> So much so that I called all my book industry contacts&#8211;hey, I am a <em>published</em> author, ya know!&#8211;even though I have not actually completed reading a book since the Internet started and gave me permanent attention deficit disorder.</p>
<p>But, so far I have come up peanuts in grabbing an early copy of Mezrich&#8217;s tome, &#8220;The Accidental Billionaires,&#8221; which is set to come out July 14.</p>
<p>Facebook is not pleased, of course, and will likely be challenging Mezrich&#8217;s work as specious dreck. But the drama around the book should be interesting, to say the least.</p>
<p>More so, since this week also came news that actors <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10271662-36.html">Michael Cera and Shia LaBeouf</a> are being considered to play founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and that <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118005289.html?categoryid=13&#038;cs=1&#038;nid=2854">David Fincher</a>, the director of the lugubrious Brad Pitt snoozer, &#8220;The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,&#8221; is &#8220;attached&#8221; to the movie version.</p>
<p>Even better: &#8220;West Wing&#8221; creator  Aaron Sorkin will pen it and actor Kevin Spacey will produce the Columbia Pictures film, which will be called &#8220;The Social Network.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, Hollywood sure came up with an original title!</p>
<p>It certainly does not signal the juiciness of the proposal for the book&#8211;which did manage to leak out last year&#8211;with a lot of tale tales in it that seem to have pretty much tracked on its oddly purple subtitle of &#8220;The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal.&#8221;</p>
<p>The cover&#8211;which you can see on the book&#8217;s<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Accidental-Billionaires-by-Ben-Mezrich/64052888061"> Facebook page</a> (the delicious gall of Mezrich!)&#8211;features a spilled martini glass and a red bra flung nearby.</p>
<p>Martinis? Red bras? Sex? Facebook? <em>Really?</em></p>
<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/06/n7619159821_302504_4798jpg.jpeg"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/06/n7619159821_302504_4798jpg-225x300.jpg" alt="n7619159821_302504_4798jpg" title="n7619159821_302504_4798jpg" width="225" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-14964" /></a></p>
<p>Obviously, Mezrich has not actually met Zuckerberg, who is a very nice geekish young man, but who has approximately the sex appeal of a rack of Facebook servers.</p>
<p>Powerful yes! Spockish? Yes! Sexy? Um, no, no, no.</p>
<p>I will not even begin to parse the red bra thing, although I am attributing the martinis to stylish former COO (and now MySpace CEO) Owen Van Natta.</p>
<p>But, apparently, the sex part seems to have to do with Zuckerberg starting the company with others while an undergrad at Harvard University, as a scheme to meet some ladies.</p>
<p>I would say there are easier ways to attract the womenfolk&#8211;not that I could give tips or anything&#8211;but whatever!</p>
<p>Thus, since I cannot get my mitts on the book (<em>yet!</em>), here&#8217;s my list of 10 completely made-up, utterly fabricated, just-call-me-Jayson-Blair things that should be in the book.</p>
<p><strong>10.)</strong> Facebook was actually going to be called OnlyPrettyLadyFacebook, but cooler heads prevailed.</p>
<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/06/rusu1842jpg.jpeg"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/06/rusu1842jpg-194x300.jpg" alt="rusu1842jpg" title="rusu1842jpg" width="194" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14965" /></a></p>
<p><strong>9.)</strong> The Wall? A clever plot by Zuckerberg to build his online service on a fascist construct, touting his hegemony over all he surveyed.</p>
<p>Wait, that actually happened, and now some Russians are even investors.</p>
<p>Long live the Zuckrepublic of Palo Alto!</p>
<p><strong>8.)</strong> Reason for stealing, <em>oops</em>, borrowing, <em>oops</em> again, completely separately developing an exact replica of ConnectU social network at Harvard:</p>
<p>The Olympically muscle-headed Winklevoss twins used to beat up the brainy Zuckerberg on his way back to the dorm, prompting a &#8220;Revenge of the Nerds&#8221; plot line.</p>
<p><strong>7.)</strong> Facebook&#8217;s Beacon advertising? <em>All</em> Randi Zuckerberg&#8217;s idea, so she could find out what she was getting for her birthday from her billionaire-on-paper brother.</p>
<p><strong>6.)</strong> Zuckerberg&#8217;s famous flip-flops were made in China under dubious working conditions. Wait, that&#8217;s true too.</p>
<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/06/bejaminjpg.jpeg"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/06/bejaminjpg-250x185.jpg" alt="bejaminjpg" title="bejaminjpg" width="250" height="185" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-14966" /></a></p>
<p><strong>5.)</strong> The 20-something Zuckerberg is actually 93 years old, a real-life version of Benjamin Button, which would explain the social awkwardness and staring-into-space-sometimes thing.</p>
<p><strong>4.)</strong> The no-breast-feeding-pictures controversy pretty much proves no one is interested in bras or, more precisely, what goes in them at Facebook.</p>
<p><strong>3.)</strong> COO Sheryl Sandberg is a cyborg sent to Facebook from Google for purposes of infiltration. She and her crafty sidekick, Elliott Schrage, will become self-aware in 2012 and hunt down Zuckerberg in a thrilling chase that will also become a movie.</p>
<p><strong>2.)</strong> The sex, drugs and rock-and-roll stuff actually all took place at MySpace, which really pisses off certifiably dashing co-Founders Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson because, once again, Zuckerberg stole their mojo!</p>
<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/06/superpoke_270x228.gif"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2009/06/superpoke_270x228-250x211.gif" alt="superpoke_270x228" title="superpoke_270x228" width="250" height="211" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14967" /></a></p>
<p><strong>1.)</strong> This work of fiction, <em>oops</em>, &#8220;fact&#8221;-ion, <em>oops</em> again, nonfiction, is probably not going to sell many copies because it will mysteriously be uploaded in its entirety by a widget that will distribute it free to Facebook&#8217;s 200 million plus users while simultaneously SuperDuperPoking Mezrich, by throwing <em>real</em> sheep at him.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t say I didn&#8217;t warn you, Ben.</p>
<p>(By the way, here is an extra for you: The $15 billion valuation for Facebook, along with all the other Web 2.0 ones? Totally true. Just ask any VC.)</p>
<p>And, in case anyone was wondering what the real Facebook looks like, here is a <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20090615/kara-tours-the-new-facebook-hq-and-gets-ripped-the-uncut-video">recent video tour I did</a> of its new HQ in Palo Alto, Calif.:</p>
