It occurred to me that building a company was the best way to align a group of people towards building something great. And its really... It's a good organizational structure where you can really reward people. If they're building something that's good, you can you work with partners and reward them if the product that you're developing work well. It's a good way to get the best people involved to build something very good.

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
The point of Facebook isn't the features, it's the people.
I personally don't invest in a lot of companies because I think it would be a conflict of interest and Facebook doesn't typically either.
Facebook is all about information and helping people share it.
If you live in an area where there is not a good school, the internet may be the best way to get access to a lot of education material. The same is true if there is not a good doctor - the internet may be the best way to get access to health.
If Facebook were a country, it would be the 8th most populated in the world, just ahead of Japan.
People wait until late in their career to give back. But why wait when there is so much to be done?
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.
