" and at the end of the day, all your profile are belong to us."

i think this is the exact sentiment that makes FB vulnerable in many ways. as i user, i dont want a company controlling my personal bits that just shits on the user base with an arrogant attitude "we have your personal info already". What drives internal innovation if everyone goes around thinking "fuck these fish in this barrel"



Assuming you meant "vulnerable." If so, agree completely. If the company that Facebook overthrew, with hundreds of millions of users, can lose over 90% of its value in a few years, there's no reason Facebook is immune.

Facebook's new motto: It's like fucking fish in a barrel.


"Facebook's new motto: It's like fucking fish in a barrel. "

sounds like directly from Zuck's mouth


Have you ever heard Zuck speak? He doesn't talk like that.


"Have you ever heard Zuck speak? He doesn't talk like that."

Dunno about talking, but he sure does IM like that:

ZUCK: they "trust me"

ZUCK: dumb fucks

...

FRIEND: so have you decided what you are going to do about the websites?

ZUCK: yea i'm going to fuck them

ZUCK: probably in the year

ZUCK: *ear


That was how he IMed in 2004 when he was 20. People change.


As evidenced by his recent interest in killing animals, I suppose.


of course he is a polite, accurate boy enjoying simple quiet pleasures like cutting throat of a goat or taking the head off a chicken.


I doubt he actually works at Faecbook. I can assure you that is not the sentiment prevalent in the office.


I know a few people at facebook and it is certainly possible he works there (this kind of attitude seems slightly more prevalent amongst newer hires), but I agree it definitely is not the general sentiment around the company nor amongst most of the people making strategic decisions.


Looking at his account history, I get a troll vibe from him.


The problem is of course that people will believe what they want to believe
