The next biggest thing? Thanks for the insider's tip.

I'm all over this Facebook thing.
 
The biggest tip the founder of Facebook can give any aspiring businessman is to steal other people's ideas and implement them in usable form before the originator can.
 
Isn't that what Microsoft did as well ;)? Seems like a successful model. Anyhow I need to check into these facebooks. I hear they are the next biggest thing.

I have to stress that there's a slight inaccuracy in this.

Microsoft did not steal the idea for DOS, then build DOS before their competitor (SCP-DOS) could -- Microsoft was a reseller for SCP-DOS and wanted to sell it to IBM (but didn't own the rights) Microsoft put together a fake demonstration of a DOS-like application that did not actually work, claimed that it was "MS-DOS" and then signed a contract to sell it to IBM before SCP-DOS had even agreed to sell the product to MS.

They did not beat SCP-DOS out the door with the finished project. They took the idea, made a fake lookalike, and rushed the paperwork through before anyone noticed, then claimed "Bug Fixing" to stall IBM until it was ready. All in all, a much sounder business plan :-p

There's no way this Facebook thing is going to be a better social networking site than Friendster... I mean it's got the word 'FRIEND' right in the name!

The reason FB hit was because he made the shit so only @.edu could create an account so obviously it became very appealing and created a lot of buzz.

I cringed when I saw Gates, Google, and Zuckerburg mentioned in the same sentence. He's nothing like Gates, or most any other huge CEO/businessman, he's just a college kid who got lucky because of a minuscule detail about his site(@.edu). Now he's giving business advice? Lol.


When Buffet, Trump, Gates, or someone of their caliber give advice let me know.

In reality, I'd rather sit down with BoFu, Guerrilla, or other some other WF members then sit down with Zuckerburg. You can't teach luck, so what the fuck can I possibly learn form Zuckerburg? Seriously.

Are you fucking serious?!?

It's one thing to *just* get lucky and completely different to take the good idea and make it work, and in the process create one of the most popular sites of all time.

Wrong, he built a program called Synapse before FB and got offers up to 2 million from companies like AOL/Microsoft.. He's not some dumb shit who simply got lucky.

No doubt, he's running it very well. I'm just saying he got to where he is because originally he got lucky.

Look at people like Gates or Jobs, they actually started off scraping by to make it. Doing real hands on day to day business shit. Really struggling to climb the mountain and they did it, they fucking made it on their own, created a mega business. Zuckerburg got lucky and used his luck to continue the great success.

I don't know about Synapse, Googling it now.

I know he isn't dumb, you don't get into that kind of school by being dumb. I think people mistook what I said, I don't think the dude is dumb by a long shot. I just don't think he's some genius businessman. He's obviously smart as fuck, that's def not what I was trying to say.

EDIT: You sure it's called Synapse? I'm googling...not seeing what I expected.

EDIT2: Zuckerberg was born in White Plains, New York and raised in Dobbs Ferry, New York. He started programming when he was in middle school. Early on, Zuckerberg enjoyed developing computer programs, especially communication tools and games. Before attending Phillips Exeter Academy, Mark went to school at Ardsley High School. At high school, he excelled in the classics. He transferred to Phillips Exeter Academy where he immersed himself in Latin. [4] He also built a program to help the workers in his father's office communicate; he built a version of the game Risk and a music player named Synapse that used artificial intelligence to learn the user's listening habits. Microsoft and AOL tried to purchase Synapse and recruit Zuckerberg, but he decided to attend Harvard College instead, where he joined Alpha Epsilon Pi, a Jewish fraternity.[5] In college, he was known for reciting lines from epic poems such as The Iliad.[4]

Doesn't really say much about it.
