Sketchy outline of the first half:

Zuckerberg: Facebook disrupted a bunch of industries with social-graph-enabled mini-takes on stuff (Photos, Events), launched platform to allow other startups to similarly make social-graph-enabled stuff (Zynga), and now the next step is to directly promote Facebook-dependent startups with this new partnership.

PG: Why startups are the ones getting things done:

1. Sheer quantity of startups

2. Startups have nothing to lose

3. Startups are desperate for attention

4. Startups are poor => do things themselves

5. ?

6. Large companies require justification before trying something

7. ?

8. Startups are a self-selecting group of people

9. Motives (from least successful to most successful): greed, fear of failure, urge to "hack the world".

Then Q&A.

I left out what I couldn't understand from the recording the first time, so someone please go ahead and fill in the gaps.

Partnership is 1. instant personalization 2. fb credits 3. fb dev access

Am stuck in a location where I cant listen to the feed. Any transcripts for this would be appreciated.

Unfortunately it's a pretty poor recording thus far. Not very good audio and I can't seem to see Mark or PG.

Sorry, I came in a bit late. Anybody care to summarize the major points?
