  Facebook and Sean “Justin Timberlake” Parker

  Here’s a fantastic account on Sean Parler’s influence at Facebook, and why he barred blue blood VC firm Sequoia Capital from making an investment that would have made it billions.

  You may remember Parker: he’s a co-founder of Napster, the then illegal peer-to-peer music service. More recently, he was portrayed by Justin Timberlake in the 2010 movie “The Social Network”, which credited him of making thefacebook.com become Facebook.

  Ironically, Timberlake went on to buy MySpace shortly thereafter, a story that ended up less lucrative than Facebook!
