The site, in 2004

Google engineers Alex Verstak and Anurag Acharya started it. Its author profiles included Einstein and Feynman, and for several years Isaac Newton's said he was a professor at MIT.
In 2004: Released in beta in November.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
