Its fun reading the paper in the morning and discovering new things. Today, I discovered who was (possibly) the first member of Facebook in the Ottawa Network. My friend Aydin Mirzaee the CEO over at bOK. According to the Ottawa Citizen article:
Mr. Mirzaee, the CEO of bOKnow.com, an Ottawa startup that offers unlimited cellphone calls to clients, said he believes he’s the first person to join an Ottawa-area network because other universities in the area didn’t have any networks at that time, he said.
McGill had a network, he said, likely due to its high American student population.
Facebook yesterday declined to provide user numbers for Ottawa and did not say whether Mr. Mirzaee was the first Ottawa user.
