Mark Zuckerberg appears on CNBC to discuss a social network (2004) [video]

If I can copy and paste what you're thinking, then yes. Otherwise, nope. Too hard to tell what's underlying the code in the case of a search engine, machine learning or artificial intelligence system. Large difference between the code behind intelligent algorithms and text entry boxes with DB calls.

BBSs, TheWell, Compuserve, Prodigy, AOL, TheGlobe, Geocities, Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, what's next? Fill in the blank I guess.

DMOZ, Yahoo, HotBot, WebCrawler, AllTheWeb, Excite, AltaVista, Lycos, Google, what's next? Too hard to tell.

Google was founded on principles in artificial intelligence and now has a good handle on how to implement portions of AI along with all the other things they're doing.

Facebook was founded by a guy who was a voyeur and called its users "dumb f*cks" for giving out personal information while rocking a biz card that said "I'm CEO, bitch!".

Big difference and big difference in revenue too.

What's with the hate in this thread? He achieved something quite remarkable. Back then, most people wouldn't have guessed that this silly campus site ever became as big as it is now.

And now, Mark created a business with thousands of employees, changing how we communicate, how we discover information about the cities we live in.

Give the man some respect. This isn't about his privileged background, but about the perseverance he showed for the last 11 years.

Seriously. That was a rather good presentation. Doing an interview for TV without much experience and come across without stumbling is not that easy.

It's almost like he's a human being and is fallible.

Still better than serving only HTML5 video as far as I'm concerned. Until someone makes a browser that can natively (...or at least with some plug-in) block those players and make them click-to-play like I can do with almost any Flash.
