The female Mark Zuckerberg: How 21-year-old created a social network because she didn't like her school yearbook photo... and is now worth $20m

Catherine Cook and her brother David were complaining about the choice of photographs in their annual school yearbook when an idea struck.

She set up a social networking site using a computer in her bedroom and in six years has built up 25 million users across the United States.

Myyearbook.com is one of the top 25 most visited sites in the country - and Miss Cook's company has just been valued at $20m.
