“Facebook will not last forever,” word of Zuckerberg – The Republic

QUESTIONS and answers: questions and answers . For the first time live. Mark Zuckerberg, the same air as nerd than a decade ago, the same T-shirt (not quite the same, “I have a lot of the same”) many billions of dollars of difference, a new headquarters, a little girl coming home to the heart of his (first) creature, now a teenager of success, ready to challenge everyone, “facebokkiani” from around the world to be questioned.

The questions selected from thousands, are, of course, who received more like. And there are those personal opportunity to shell out to recalcitrant Mark anecdotes. When his wife wrote “I’m hungry” and he has to work late, the answers with the emoticon with the big cat burgers. His favorite. Or, who he is not worried about the future of Facebook. Indeed, he never believed that it can last forever. It is not his goal. He wants to change the world, do not do it forever.

so fresh and young, this Q & A, to keep in touch with their “clients” users, to never lose sight of the spirit featuring innovative social, and know how to accept advice and criticism coming from those who know him best: his daily users, many of whom are already there to detox, because bulimia virtual social and, above all, by notification on Facebook. What better way to sniff out trends and figure out what step to do, what to invest in and where “invade” again. You can bet that Zuckerberg say “excited” to hear their opinions.


I do not like. The first question comes from Said, Egypt. It is a question that, as noted by the moderator, was placed thousands of times. After a two-minute speech, the first response, the CEO of the social network gives a hard time, at least with the news. Said asks: “Dear Mark, we need other options apart from the like. Something like ‘Sorry, it is not interesting, then I do not like.” Mark smiles. You embarrassed. Become the young richest, most famous, most envied and admired the Silicon Valley has not lifted off the timidity of the beginning. “Well”, he attacks, “are years that people ask us the button ‘dislike’ and today is a special day because we can finally say that we are working and we are very close to a test. But it took a long time to get here , we did not want to build a button ‘do not like’ we do not want to turn Facebook into a community where the posts are voted on in a kind of up and down. A forum where people go wild to criticize and ‘degrading’ the post of another “.

A matter of feeling. ” Rather than put a dislike, people try to establish empathy. But we want to give more options to express more fully the feelings to be expressed and give the opportunity to interact even in cases where something is not fit to ‘like’ to someone who sees it as the loss of a loved one. Friends want you to understand who understand, they are close, but do not feel like putting a because it would not be appropriate. We’re working on, and we’re just looking for the right direction, “said Mark. It may be that the real pollicione down will never see the light, but then indeed, you diversify into many options that look like the ones to choose when you post: “feeling / how you feel” with various emoticons to follow.

What a post shared the stimuli not like does not mean you deserve automatically do not like, but perhaps the pillory of the network is frightening even to Mark, to which one “do not like” to put under products and listings, He could not cause him headaches recently. Because if you like handfuls of sale bill thousands of dollars, how could stem the dislike? Pay to delete them? Hire of ‘ghost likers’ passing day and night 24 hours 24 to wear the pads by pressing the button I like? It would become a war like that should always be on top to dislike, especially with regard to sponsored content from clients.

The secret of the young Mark. Perhaps he read Churchill and his praise of the failure, the fact is that to err is his only secret, he said. “People try to avoid the mistakes to have no regrets. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes and what I try to always remember the people who work here is that successful people make it. It does not always do the right thing, just that sometimes this right thing will lead to major changes that often take time and patience. Time seems to swallow alone and disappear. Every entrepreneur knows. “

Million Dollar Baby. Now that a baby is coming, the question will have teased him. How I would behave with her daughter about social networks, especially her? Some will join Facebook but, responds Mark “not before the age of 13 and then we have to talk about the technology to children, explain it. Especially pay attention to parents.” Then there is also the horizon idea of ​​educational development: Facebook as a platform educational, by challenging bullying.

Facebook craze. What to do with all these people who are no longer able to break away from the social? And then maybe they connect at night and begin to suffer from insomnia and depression. “I always say that the main purpose of Facebook is to connect the people who already know each other. I do not think the place to make new friends. Facebook wants to extend the ability to maintain and strengthen relations.” Circumnavigates the argument, Mark. I wonder if he’s ever been to China, in the field of detoxification from the internet (and Facebook) in which the dependence on the matter have taken seriously. “When I get to see my mom or my wife in person, I always do. But family members and friends who can not wait to meet them on Facebook.” Do not save a joke, however, responding to another question: “If you do not see the news that most interests you at the top of the notifications, I think why not look at Facebook for a while ‘too many hours and do not understand why. Sure, Facebook is the only job in which encouraged the use of Facebook. “

Facebook a waste of time? “Absolutely not. It is important for the world,” replied Zuckerberg. When you’re dealing with a half billion users, with billions and billions of data on those users (already profiled) and with the power to decide what is seen and what is not, deleting posts and promoting other, of course it is. “Mark, I pray you, hey, change shirt. Another color at least.” Greet him well, his facebokkiani present, even if you already know that it will not.
