I find it humorous that while Zuckerberg is:

* offering the information, but hasn't actually leaked it

* offering phonebook / directory type info, which is semi germane to the actual purpose of the site, especially in the early days

Meanwhile Boingboing is making public a recording of a private conversation held over IM.

I've read all these IMs before. IIRC, they were in the trial transcripts.

I believe at least one of the "FRIEND"s is Adam D'Angelo, former Facebook CTO and now founder of Quora.

In any case, it's not as if Boing Boing hacked into Zuckerberg's computer to get these. They're freely available.

    Actually, they were under seal in ConnectU, Inc. v. Facebook, Inc., and Mark's attorneys fought very hard to keep them that way. They're only freely available now because they were leaked.

    Given my personal stake in it all I'd like to know what the rest of the still-unpublished ones say.

Yeah, but it's okay because the Boingboing offices are not bugged and you didn't get to hear the editors say that they were going to fuck Zuckerberg in the ear.
