People think innovation is just having a good idea but a lot of it is just moving quickly and trying a lot of things.
It's tough to say, exactly, what things will look like in three to five years, but there's a lot of work to do in just moving along the path that we've already set out.
We want Facebook to be one of the best places people can go to learn how to build stuff. If you want to build a company, nothing better than jumping in and trying to build one. But Facebook is also great for entrepreneurs/hackers. If people want to come for a few years and move on and build something great, that's something we're proud of.
If things aren’t breaking, then you’re not moving fast enough. People learn by making mistakes.
We used to write this down by saying, 'move fast and break things.' And the idea was, unless you are breaking some stuff you are not moving fast enough. I think there's probably something in that for other entrepreneurs to learn which is that making mistakes is okay. At the end of the day, the goal of building something is to build something, not to not make mistakes.
Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.
Move fast, take risks, it's okay to try big things you're better off trying something and having it not work and learning from that than having not done anything at all.
There's lots of stuff none of us have ever seen before. That's good in some ways, but limiting in other ways.
I think Facebook is an online directory for colleges... If I want to get information about you, I just go to TheFacebook, type in your name, and it hopefully pulls up all the information I'd care to know about you.
Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.
The majority of people who don't have Internet, don't have the Internet because they don't know why they want to use the Internet.
The biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5.
Our philosophy is that we care about people first.
Once you have a product that you are happy with, you the need to centralize things to continue growth.
