Tyler Winklevoss, half of the Winklevoss twins, which have been in an ongoing legal battle with Facebook, posted a snarky tweet today, after news came out of Paul Ceglia suing Facebook and revealing alleged email exchanges he shared with Zuckerberg.
One of the alleged emails from Zuckerberg to Ceglia reads:
I have recently met with a couple of upperclassmen here at Harvard that are planning to launch a site very similar to ours. If we don’t make a move soon, I think we will lose the advantage we would have if we release before them.

Serious DBs RT @alisonrosenthal:I really love the word douchebag. It’s so descriptive and useful for select individuals.
Randi Zuckerberg chimed in as well:
Totally agree @brandee (re: douchebag) Got honked @ today. At 9mos preggo I was taking “too long to climb into my car” & guy wanted my spot.
One can’t help but visualize Armie Hammer sitting at a computer in an office finding out that Facebook has been name calling.
