China's version of Facebook has a University of Delaware connection. In "The Facebooks of China," by April Rabkin, which appeared in the February issue of Fast Company, we learn:

In 2003, Wang dropped out of a PhD program at the University of Delaware and returned to Beijing to create a local version of Friendster. It flopped. Two years later, he heard about this new thing called Facebook and decided to copy it.
who knew?
