Mark Zuckerberg is a man whose life and achievements will probably always be remembered. He grew up as a quirky but brilliant kid full of incredible ideas and programming talent. He went to Harvard where he and some of his friends created the website that changed the way that people now interact. His website was of course Facebook. Facebook started as a simple campus wide social media where people on campus could log and share thoughts and pictures with friends. After being very well received at Harvard Zuckerberg realized that his social media platform might actually make a lasting difference in the world. The website spread to several other schools and by that time investors were incredibly interested. Zuckerberg dropped out of school to continue building his website which now has 1.79 billion active users. People have been able to interact in a way that they had never before done. Zuckerberg is worth somewhere around $50 billion dollars. He continues to work on Facebook while being an incredibly generous philanthropist.
I hadn’t heard of this Mark fellow, but he seems like quite the impressive entrepreneur! Although I’m more of a Myspace guy, I’ll give this new Facebook thing a try!
Mark Zuckerberg has one of the most interesting stories of a young entrepreneur i have ever heard and it culminated in the making of the social network movie. Facebook has captivated the world at a rate im sure not even Mark could have ever imagined
people can look at Mark’s story and say that we have heard it a million times, but when we stop and relate that college kids today might have similar opportunities to be something, that is when we get excited
While I might have little respect for what facebook has become, it certainly is a powerful tool. I think that the strength of Mark’s idea is how it is able to bring people together.
it’s about time someone did something on Mark! The funny thing about his story is its so simple which actually can be more of an inspiration because the story can be easier for us to see in our own lives.
