Our strategy is very horizontal. We're trying to build a social layer for everything. Basically we're trying to make it so that every app everywhere can be social whether it's on the web, or mobile, or other devices.

More quotes by Mark Zuckerberg
I think there's confusion around what the point of social networks is. A lot of different companies characterized as social networks have different goals - some serve the function of business networking, some are media portals. What we're trying to do is just make it really efficient for people to communicate, get information and share information.
Mark Zuckerberg
There are a few other things that I built when I was at Harvard that were kind of smaller versions of Facebook. One such program was this program called Match. People could enter the different courses that they were taking, and see what other courses would be correlated with the courses they are taking.
Mark Zuckerberg
The real question for me is, do people have the tools that they need in order to make those decisions well? And I think that it's actually really important that Facebook continually makes it easier and easier to make those decisions... If people feel like they don't have control over how they're sharing things, then we're failing them.
Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission - to make the world more open and connected.
Mark Zuckerberg
Building a mission and building a business go hand-in-hand. It is true that the primary thing that makes me excited about what we're doing is the mission, but I also think, from the very beginning, we've had this healthy understanding which is that we need to do both.
Mark Zuckerberg
If Facebook were a country, it would be the 8th most populated in the world, just ahead of Japan.
Mark Zuckerberg
The US government should be the champion for the internet, not a threat. They need to be much more transparent about what they're doing, or otherwise people will believe the worst.
Mark Zuckerberg
If we want to have the biggest impact, the best way to do this is to make sure we always focus on solving the most important problems.
Mark Zuckerberg
It only took me two weeks to build the first version of Facebook because I had so much stuff before then.
Mark Zuckerberg
We look for people who are passionate about something. In a way, it almost doesn’t matter what you’re passionate about. What we really look for when we’re interviewing people is what they’ve shown an initiative to do on their own.
Mark Zuckerberg
You grow more when you get more people's perspective.
Mark Zuckerberg
Google, I think, in some ways, is more competitive and certainly is trying to build their own little version of Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg
In terms of doing work and in terms of learning and evolving as a person, you just grow more when you get more people's perspectives... I really try and live the mission of the company and... keep everything else in my life extremely simple.
Mark Zuckerberg
The trick isn't adding stuff, it's taking away.
Mark Zuckerberg
People think innovation is just having a good idea but a lot of it is just moving quickly and trying a lot of things.
Mark Zuckerberg
I mean, we've built a lot of products that we think are good, and will help people share photos and share videos and write messages to each other. But it's really all about how people are spreading Facebook around the world in all these different countries. And that's what's so amazing about the scale that it's at today.
Mark Zuckerberg
While we generally believe in free speech and giving everyone as much ability to speak as possible, in practice there are lots of barriers to that, whether it's legal restrictions, technological restrictions or you can't share what you want if you don't have access to the internet.
Mark Zuckerberg
At Facebook, we build tools to help people connect with the people they want and share what they want, and by doing this we are extending people's capacity to build and maintain relationships.
Mark Zuckerberg
Stuff like photos and events and groups - we've built pretty basic versions of those apps to start but they ended up being so much more used because of their social integrations.
Mark Zuckerberg
This is our commitment to users and the people who use our service, is that Facebook's a free service. It's free now. It will always be free. We make money through having advertisements and things like that.
Mark Zuckerberg
