Web 2.0 Summit 2010: Mark Zuckerberg, "A Conversation with Mark Zuckerb...




This video is very long (1 hour) but I think it's interesting if you have the time.  If you don't have a lot of time, check out minutes 7-14:30 and minutes 39-42.

At the Web 2.0 Summit, Zuckerberg answered questions on the future of social media and Facebook, competition, and mistakes he made.

Comments that I found interesting, especially in light of our class last Friday, was when Zuckerberg was talking about the value of Facebook, privacy issues, and mistakes he made.  He said if you build a product that people really love, then you can make a lot of mistakes.  Arrogant or true?

This got me wondering whether Facebook's mistakes were naive and unthoughtful or whether they simply happened because the company moved fast, took big risks, and tried to push the envelope to find out where the boundaries lie in this new online social networking paradigm.

What do you think?

I kind of agree with him on the fact that the right answer ,with regard to privacy, is not obvious. I believe that we're still learning what people really want, and how to deliver without having them believe that we've violated their privacy.
