Mark became interested in computers at an early age. When he was about twelve, he used the Atari BASIC program to create a messaging program called "Zucknet."

Several companies, including AOL (America On Line) and Microsoft, wanted to buy his software and hire him, but he refused their offers. He went to college instead.
When he was in his second year at Harvard, Mark started to create programs for students. He wrote a program called CourseMatch, which allowed allowed users to choose classes based on the popular choices of other students.
