  Facebook should have fought the suit. The Winklevoss brothers spent zero time or effort putting anything together until after Facebook launched. Cafeteria agreements are not contracts.
  
  In any instance, they were too busy rowing for Harvard's legendary coach Harry Parker to think about a website.
  
  They simply wanted to cash in.
  
  As I've written before, as the sons of noted Wharton grad and Professor Howard Winklevoss, they should have known better than to trust a handshake agreement
  
  Besides, I doubt they care. They're using their dad's money to pay the lawyers. This weekend they competed at the USRowing National Selection Regatta. Tyler's boat came in 6th, almost 25 seconds off the winners, and far off the pace required for Olympic success. Cameron's boat did not even compete in his placement final.
  
  Whiners, crybabies, and at least one quitter.

  I am sad to see one of the most respected families of the old school disrespected here. The Winklevoss family are a fabulous group of contributing scholars and businessmen and also sportsmen. They row, they are involved in many charities, just look at all the women in the clan, you cant say that about most other people. They know how the system works, and they hand knowledge down that knowledge from generastion to generation. Just because your family doesn't do that, doesn't mean its ok to critiseze it.
