Chapter 17 gives you a look at the life of Sean Parker. He wakes up in some girls bedroom and he has no idea where he is. Then, he notices and open laptop with a girls Facebook pulled up. Interested, he starts getting excited and decides that he needs to find the creator, Mark Zuckerberg. Then Sean goes to a flash back of when he first created Napster and Plaxo. He talks about how his friends betrayed him and now he is looking for his next big project.

The next chapter, Mark, Eduardo, and his girlfriend ,Kelly, are on their way to Meet Sean Parker in New York. Right away Eduardo dislikes Sean. Mark thought if they brought in Sean, he would help make money and expand Facebook. However, Eduardo was supose to be in charge of the business making decisions.

After that dinner, things began to fall together. Eduardo and Mark begin noticing major representatives from software and internet companies tracking them down. Everyone wanted to be apart of the Facebook expansion. Marks friends were also working on a file sharing network called Wirehog. That would eventually be combined with Facebook. Summer was approching so they both had to figure out how work on Facebook could continue. Because it wasn't making any money yet, Eduardo took and internship in New York. Mark decided to move to California with his friend Dustin and two other interns. Of course, those interns were not going to work for free. So, Eduardo opened up an 18 thousand dollar account to fund their operation.

Meanwhile, the Winklevoss twins and Divya launch their new website, ConnectU. After failing to get any justice out of their situation they decide to move on. They hope that their site will catch on and be successful but still resent Mark.

While Sean Parker is moving his girlfriends things out of her house he sees Mark. Mark had moved into the same neighborhood as Sean's girlfriend. It was convenient because Sean was looking for somewhere to stay and Mark offered their house. When Sean first gets to the house there are computers everywhere. He notices that Eduardo is no where to be seen. Sean thinks to himself that Eduardo is screwing himself over. He cannot be apart of the business half way across the country. Sean knows that with the attention comes parties and new opportunities. He's willing to teach Mark the way to handle all of it.

I think Sean Parker obviously has a hidden agenda. He is probably going to try to push Eduardo out of Facebook. Mark should have seen those signs right away. Having said that it might not have been the best idea for Eduardo to move take the internship. New York is too far away to be creating a business.
