Hacker News and Vice magazine recently discovered a sparse-looking `Angelfire' website from the year 1999 --- a website which allegedly belonged to the Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The somewhat comical and amusing Angelfire website - apparently created by Zuckerberg when he was only 15 years old; and one of the first blogging sites of the time - bears the username as `Slim Shady', the name of rapper Eminem's alter-ego during the mid 1990s.
The creator of the Angelfire website clearly says on the webpage, "Hi, my name is. Slim Shady. No, really, my name is Slim Shady;" and further adds alongside: "Just kidding, my name is Mark (for those of you that don't know me) and I live in a small town near the massive city of New York. I am currently 15 years old and I just finished freshman year in high school."
Full of all kinds of interesting things, the website features a GPA calculator for "all you psychos, myself included, who obsess over grades"; as well as a blinking yellow eyeball which welcomes the visitors with the message that it is "the only site where a yellow eye blinks at you."
Going by the bio, the Angelfire site was probably set up with the key aim of promoting the Zuckerberg-created program - called the "Vader Fader" - which manipulated the text in AOL (US telco America Online) chat texts, emails, and instant messages.
