The IM Conversation In Which 19-Year-Old Zuckerberg Decided To Build Facebook

Very interesting read. It's funny - right before reading this article, I was talking with a dear frined of mine about FB and what is the problem that it really solved. My friend gave me really elegant answers with full passion and conviction. One of his answers was "The great problem that FB solved was to bring our social circles closer and to enrich...blah, blah, blah... He gave me almsot 15 minute lecture on how FB has completely changed the world. I agreed that FB has changed the world today but at the time of starting FB - I really don't think Zuckerberg was thinking about solving any problem.

From the article - it's very clear that he was simply trying to stick something but had no clue as to what he was trying to achieve.

I think most business are like that. They really don't know what they are trying to achieve. It's actually after they become successful that they connect the dots (as Steve Jobs would put it) and say how they solved the great problems of our time!

The article was very nice read!
