Apparently the easiest way to get to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is through the network he created, as a man who Zuckerberg says kept sending him messages and showing up at his office and home did. The young web guru filed a restraining order against Pradeep Manukonda, saying he posed a potential threat after he kept showing up uninvited.

TMZ reported that Zuckerberg had obtained the restraining order, and now it seems Manukonda is regretting pursuing him for "personal advice" and sending him flowers.
"I'm a peaceful guy ... I'm sorry he thought I was trying to harm him," Manukonda told TMZ. "I understand he's a busy man ... I'll respect his privacy."
