The future of Facebook

He is the Harvard dropout who went to the Silicon Valley and started one of the hottest web sites in the world.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked about the big changes on Facebook and his own future at the company.
It’s the website you probably already check at least once a day.
70 million people a day log onto Facebook, spending 20 billion minutes every month scrutinizing their own pages or those of their countless friends.
And why, after four years of stratospheric growth, Facebook is changing its look.

“We’re making it so that the most recent and relevant content can surface in people’s profiles, so I can see exactly what’s going on with you today.  That’s a big structural change to the site,“ said Zuckerberg.

A big enough change that some users are already complaining.

Zuckerberg says he understands.

“In a lot of ways, it’s just flattering people care so much about what we’re doing. You can imagine that if you’re using this to connect with family and friends around you, any change in how that works can be a big deal.“

Facebook itself has become more than a website you visit. 
Stanford University now devotes an entire class to how to make money on the Facebook platform.

“It’s really cool to see other college students doing that today,“ said Zuckerberg.

College students, of course, making up a lot of the 100 million people who have accounts on Facebook.

A number Zuckerberg says he plans to grow with help from a fellow Harvard dropout.

Microsoft recently took a stake in Facebook.

A stake that values the website at a staggering fifteen billion dollars.

“To be honest, that’s not the stuff I enjoy working on or talking about, but just because we can help people connect and share.  That’s the defining thing about Facebook,“ Zuckerberg said.
