Isn't the opening anecdote about Steve Jobs? I'm pretty sure there was a similar story in another recent article about Jobs.
Yes I read the same thing elsewhere. Also I stopped reading the article when it started to sound too much like propaganda.
Yes, I have also read the similar story about Steve jobs taking picture of visitors with their iPhone in front of Apple
It's not similar, it's literally the exact same story.
Also, who the hell would want to get photographed outside the Facebook offices? Do people really set out to visit Facebook HQ?
Of the many, many people using Facebook it's unsurprising that some tourists who were nearby thought it would be cool to get a picture infront of the Facebook sign. I'm sure the same goes for Google and other internet businesses.
Why is it considered that if you sell your company, you're not in it for the long run? I get that Mark doesn't love money but he's not doing FB for charity. I'm not sure why he didn't sell to Yahoo for $1B or to MS for $15B but the only thing I can guess is he wanted more (money?) out of it.
In other words, he feels/felt that facebook is worth a lot more than $15B. I don't use facebook but I find this to be the most admirable part of facebook's evolution. For someone in their early twenties to have that sort of conviction about the worth of their product is remarkable, don't you think?
Theres also a documentary on BBC 2 @ 9PM tonight about Zuckerberg, which sounds interesting.
