There's lots of stuff none of us have ever seen before. That's good in some ways, but limiting in other ways.
Open Graph is a language for structuring content and sharing that goes on in other apps, and we're continuing to build it out longer term. But we found we need to build more specific experiences around categories like music or movies. Where we've taken the time to build those specific experiences, stuff has gone quite well.
Working with a lot of people at the same time is a task. I really like making stuff and getting stuff done. One of the things I really liked about Facebook was that I could always move so quickly. I wrote the original application in, like, nine days at the end of January.
When we are thinking about stuff like embeds, we are not thinking about how we are competing with YouTube. We are thinking about how are we going to make it more useful for people to share stuff on Facebook.
There are definitely elements of experience and stuff that someone who's my age wouldn't have. But there are also things that I can do that other people wouldn't necessarily be able to.
You hear these stories about people who take apart their radio and put it back. Or just learn a lot from taking it apart. But I wasn't as into that stuff as I was just into how computer programs work..
It only took me two weeks to build the first version of Facebook because I had so much stuff before then.
The trick isn't adding stuff, it's taking away.
I mostly built stuff that I liked.
You can be so bad at so many things... and as long as you stay focused on how you're providing value to your users and customers, and you have something that is unique and valuable... you get through all that stuff.
Stuff like photos and events and groups - we've built pretty basic versions of those apps to start but they ended up being so much more used because of their social integrations.
What really motivates people at Facebook is building stuff that they're proud of.
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.
