He needs walking around money. So what?
Nobody on earth needs $1B of walking around money.
It would be very cool, though.

#82Ummm does anyone else think that maybe Mark Zuckerberg is now going to be filling the Steve Jobs shaped hole in the worlds tech publications?
I'm going to say no. I really don't see Facebook being around in 30 years. I'd be surprised if they're not marginalised in 10 years. And other than Facebook, I'm not sure what Zuckerberg has to offer the world. If you want to know why: It's because I personally believe the future of social networks is to niche, with disparate social networks connected via a Distributed Social Networking Protocol. Your social network…
I'm a massive proponent of the Distributed Social Networking Protocol concept, but since Diaspora tanked no one else seems to be picking up the mantle and Google/Yahoo/Microsoft don't look like they're going to roll out anything resembling an open SN protocol any time soon I wonder if it will ever happen.

replace loose with lose. See: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling
I haven't been on HN for as long as most folks here. What is the policy on grammar correction? I know personally I want to be corrected if I make an error, but I don't think everybody feels that way... Just curious so as to not rock the boat.
Some spelling/grammar corrections are irrelevant, abusive, and inflammatory while others are instructive, helpful, and interesting. This community (to me) is more about the "hey, did you know that it's 'capital' except for when you're talking about the building, then it's 'capitol'" than the "STFU stupid, u can't even spell right"

Yes and no. I think he is a visionary CEO that knows how to get things done, but he's an engineer, while jobs was not. I think that Jeff Bezos is more Jobs than Zuckerberg is, but who knows.
I think pretty soon the "Steve Jobs shaped hole" will be filled by Jack Dorsey
That almost sounds like a South Park episode. Take the empty hole where Steve Jobs used to be and fill it with douche to make a Jack Dorsey.

#88It was in the S-1 filing, so it's not new news: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/facebooks-zuckerberg-thiel-...
Even less of news when he has to make this type of sale to pay taxes.

There's certainly a lot of truth here. However, Mark Zuckerberg built the company to last. So I think it's unlikely that it will completely be marginalized.
Regarding the Zuck = Jobs. Absolutely not. Yes, they are both product people. But Mark Zuckerberg does not have the same aura or doesn't necessarily have the same depth of intellectuality that Jobs (college dropout or not) had. When I see Mark Zuckerberg, I think more of the Bill Gates or our time than an artistic genius with deep root in counter-culture lifestyle.
