Cox and Zuckerberg have 248 shared connections, and thanks to that fact (and further friends list comparisons) we were able to see more than 400 of Zuckerberg's Facebook friends,” says MashableZuckerberg is friends with prominent people in the tech industry including Blake Ross, Co-creator of Mozilla Firefox and Charlie Cheever, Cofounder of Quora.Mashable says, “There were also surprises.
