The story so far
Everything you need before watchingFacemash is live. In a Harvard dorm, guys hammer left or right on paired photos of classmates. Traffic spikes so hard someone asks if they should kill the site before they get into trouble. At four in the morning a network admin calls: the Kirkland switch is seeing Super Bowl numbers. Mark hangs up with the news: Harvard's network is about to crash. Watch a joke site take down a university, and the second the builders realize the wreckage is theirs.
