More quotes by Mark Zuckerberg
I look at Google and think they have a strong academic culture. Elegant solutions to complex problems.
Mark Zuckerberg
If the original Facebook was the first five minutes [of a conversation] and the stream was the next 15, what I want to show you today is the rest-the next few hours of a deep engaging conversation.
Mark Zuckerberg
I made so many mistakes in running the company so far, basically any mistake you can think of I probably made. I think, if anything, the Facebook story is a great example of how if you're building a product that people love you can make a lot of mistakes
Mark Zuckerberg
Mobile is a lot closer to TV than it is to desktop.
Mark Zuckerberg
When you want to change things, you can't please everyone. If you do please everyone, you aren't making enough progress.
Mark Zuckerberg
There have been misperceptions that we're trying to make all the information open on Facebook, and that's completely false. There are big buckets of information that we recommend that you share with only your friends privately. Then some of the more basic information, we recommend that that's visible to everyone.
Mark Zuckerberg
A guy who makes a new chair doesn't owe money to everyone who ever built a chair.
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
We want Facebook to be one of the best places people can go to learn how to build stuff. If you want to build a company, nothing better than jumping in and trying to build one. But Facebook is also great for entrepreneurs/hackers. If people want to come for a few years and move on and build something great, that's something we're proud of.
Mark Zuckerberg
I'd like to show an improved product rather than just talk about things we might do.
Mark Zuckerberg
I know it sounds corny, but I’d love to improve people’s lives, especially socially… Making the world more open is not an overnight thing. It’s a ten-to-fifteen-year thing.
Mark Zuckerberg
You grow more when you get more people's perspective.
Mark Zuckerberg
Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life.
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
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
It used to be the case, like, you'd switch jobs, and then maybe you wouldn't keep in touch with all the people that you knew from that old job. Just because it was too hard. But one of the things that Facebook does is it makes it really easy to just stay in touch with all these people.
Mark Zuckerberg
Free basic internet access should be like dialing 911 in the US or 100 in India.
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
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 don't have an alarm clock. If someone needs to wake me up, then I have my BlackBerry next to me.
