Cofounder of Facebook?
There's no question that McCollum was involved very early with Facebook, but does he qualify as a cofounder? He doesn't appear on FB's own old "Founder Bios" page (now down, but archived). Andrew McCollum currently cites an AOL news page (now broken, but archived), but the section on McCollum (archived version) describes him with "Title: Designer of Facebook; Co-Founder of JobSpice" not as a FB cofounder; it does use the title "Co-Founder of Facebook" for Eduardo Saverin, Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskovitz, the three people beside Mark Zuckerberg listed on the FB Founder Bios page. (This is the detailed description it gives of his early FB role:

"McCollum and Zuckerberg were enrolled in five courses together during their sophomore year at Harvard, most of which were in computer science. One day, McCollum received an IM from Zuckerberg asking him to design Facebook's logo, saying, 'Who else is going to do it?' McCollum decided to design the first face of Facebook by drawing a sketch of actor Al Pacino. He stayed on at Facebook until 2006, and worked on the file-sharing program Wirehog, which never took off the way Zuckerberg hoped it would."

) One source that arguably does describe McCollum as a cofounder is Dustin Moskovitz, on his (I assume, genuine) Quora page. In his answer to the Quora question "How many people have been credited as Facebook founders?", Moskovitz said:

"I usually mention Andrew and include an * with Eduardo."

(According to a comment by Moskovitz on his own answer, the asterisk on Saverin was for what Moskovitz considers disloyalty to FB ("For acting against the company in the early days."), not really because of uncertainty as to whether Saverin was a founder.)
