Facebook supremo Mark Zuckerberg appeared to have convinced the world that his Facebook billions were destined for charity last week.

The press was full of stories about how Zuckerburg was so moved by the birth of his child that he was effectively doing a Bill Gates and donating most of his shares to a charity which would be dedicated to building a better future for the by-product of his nocturnal poke.

But this week calmer heads have been looking at what Zuckerburg and his missus have actually done and it does not look like there is going to be much change for the world that the sprog will grow up in after all.

According to the New York Times, Zuckerberg and Mrs Zuckerberg did not set up a charitable foundation, which has non-profit status.
