Facebook was founded by a 23 year old, Mark Zuckerberg. Last year he turned down an offer of $1 Billion from Yahoo. Facebook is Social networking tool with has 30 Million active users. If it were a country, it would have roughly the same population as Canada!
Mark Zuckerman is not alone; I was watching in the BBC Breakfast news an item about Peasy.com earlier in the week. Peazy is an online marketplace for parking spaces, enabling users to search for and book parking spaces before they leave, and homeowners to add their home parking spaces to the Peasy network and begin earning instantly. Rental prices can be considerably cheaper than comparable season ticket, contract parking, or local storage companies. A great offering for long suffering commuters (I'm sure you'll agree), a nice little earner for homeowners with parking spaces. And yes ... you guessed it right! Charles Cridland, the CEO of the company is another twenty something.
