Interesting transition he has made, from this: "If you’re gonna be a good businessman, really what it’s about, is finding situations where people win. It’s not about tricking people into doing stuff, it’s not about being a hardass. It’s about being comfortable and working in your pajamas, because that’s gonna end up being what’s best for everyone.”

To this: "Really we try to embrace communication between people so they can communicate and communicate between each other. It's a social utility for communication." (at SXSWi)


I was wondering where I had seen Adam D'Angelo's face before. I just realized he used to be competitor on topcoder. He was pretty good, too.

Also; it's funny -- I had this image of Zuckerberg being quite devious and calculating. Now it feels like he's a lot like us.


Am i the only one that's sick of this guy?


You're sick of the PR creation. This is an old article, and seems pretty authentic. Lots of interesting stuff.


Good read. Demystifies the Facebook mythology a little. Pre-Brandee Barker vintage Zuckerberg quotes in last two paragraphs.


Good read. I don't think I could have passed up that many offers.


A good article, but it's only half of the story.


Off topic: Why does "The Crimson" have google ads? With its 600 billion dollar endowment, couldn't Harvard do without?


most college papers are independent and don't receive much (if any) funding from the University they are affiliated with.

helps them remain a bit more objective.
