ConnectU

ConnectU was an early social networking website created by Harvard students in 2004. It allowed college students to connect, share information, and network online, similar to what Facebook became later. The platform was designed to help students find friends and communicate within their college community. ConnectU gained popularity among Harvard students but eventually faced legal battles and competition from Facebook. While it was an important step in social media history, it is best known for its involvement in the legal disputes over the origins and development of Facebook.
