And connected is helping people stay in touch and maintain empathy for each other, and bandwidth.
The only meat I eat is from animals I’ve killed myself.
In addition to building better products, a more open world will also encourage businesses to engage with their customers directly and authentically. More than four million businesses have Pages on Facebook that they use to have a dialogue with their customers. We expect this trend to grow as well.
Facebook is uniquely positioned to answer questions that people have, like, what sushi restaurants have my friends gone to in New York lately and liked? These are queries you could potentially do with Facebook that you couldn’t do with anything else, we just have to do it.
I updated my grilling app, iGrill, today and it now has Facebook integration that lets you see what other people are grilling right now around the world. Awesome.
People at Facebook are fairly used to the press being nice to us or not nice to us.
If you want to be free, or you want to preserve freedom for people, you both need to have laws that make it so people have freedom of speech and all the freedoms that they need. You also need to have an open governance system where people can vote and people have representation.
We have a pretty ambitious goal for the world. What we think will make the Web better. What we think will make all these businesses that integrate with us run more effectively. I think if we stay focused on doing that, that’s really the main thing that we need to do.
The primary things that people do on the Facebook is they use it to share with their friends and the people around them and their community, and they use it to keep in touch with people.
The world isn’t set up equally, and the first billion people using Facebook have way more money than the rest of the world combined.
Connecting everyone is going to be something that no single company can do by themselves. So I’m really glad that they and a lot of other companies are working on this.
Openness fundamentally affects a lot of the core institutions in society – the media, the economy, how people relate to the government and just their leadership.
When people are connected, we can just do some great things. They have the opportunity to get access to jobs, education, health, communications. We have the opportunity to bring the people we care about closer to us.
If people want change, then they will find a way to get that change. So, whatever technology they may or may not have used was neither a necessary nor sufficient case for getting to the outcome that they got to, but having people who wanted change was.
You hear these stories about people who take apart their radio and put it back. Or just learn a lot from taking it apart. But I wasn’t as into that stuff as I was just into how computer programs work...
Connectivity just can’t be a privilege for people in the richest countries. We believe that connecting everyone in the world is one of the great challenges of our generation, and that’s why we are happy to play whatever small part in that that we can.
Move fast and break things.
Ideas don’t come out fully formed, they only become clearer as you work on them. You just have to get started.
We Don’t Build Services to Make Money, We Make Money To Build Services.
We don’t crash EVER!
The greatest successes come from having the freedom to fail.
