Factual error: When Mark types email addresses in to tell people about facemash, he writes to several people @harvard.edu. At the time the movie takes place, undergraduate email addresses were all of the form username@fas.harvard.edu. Furthermore, the network brought down by facemash would have been referred to as the FAS network. (FAS stands for Faculty of Arts and Sciences; the eponymous network covered all buildings within the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.).
The Social Network (2010)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Rashida Jones, Andrew Garfield, Rooney Mara
Sean creates major embarrassment for Facebook and Mark when a party of his is busted by the cops for drug use and for having girls (Facebook interns) there who under 21 years old. Sean continues to own 7% of the company, but has a reduced role from then on. Mark's attorney urges him to settle the lawsuit by paying the plaintiffs, which he does. Eduardo receives an "unknown settlement" and has his name listed on Facebook as the co-founder. The three entrepreneurs receive millions and sign a non-disclosure agreement, effectively shutting them up and making them go away. This is, of course, "pocket change" to Mark, who goes on to become the world's youngest billionaire. The movie ends with Mark, looking isolated and perhaps regretful, looking up his ex-girlfriend on Facebook. She is registered and has a page on the site. We see Mark sending her a friend request, but never get to find out if she accepts the request or not.

Tyler Winklevoss: I'm six-five,220 pounds, and there are two of me.
Trivia: When the Facebook team are celebrating their 1,000,000th member, Mark Zuckerberg is wearing an Arm & Hammer t-shirt. This is in reference to Cameron Winklevoss/Tyler Winklevoss being played by actor Armand "Armie" Hammer. (01:42:25)
Question: When Eduardo discovers the dilution of his percentage, he asks Mark if he did it because of the "article about the chicken", which accused Eduardo of forced animal cannibalism. Sean Parker hears this and says, "What's he talking about?" and then says "Seriously, what's the chicken?" Is this implying he was the one who gave the chicken story to Mark's lawyer so he could use it in the previous scene where he mentions it?

Answer: No, earlier when it came up in the lawyers office, Eduardo thought it came from Mark, but the lawyer stepped in and said they were able to find it themselves. Sean really had no idea what he was talking about, but didn't use it against him.
