He is a much, much better public speaker now: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-19/mark-zucke...
He wasn't so bad at age 19!

It's almost like he's a human being and is fallible.
What seems to be passed off as a foible seems to me to be sociopathic. Edit: less accusatory
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 pers…

Basically it's his flagrant disrespect and violation of human privacy at a mindbogglingly massive scale. He got us here by tricking us with cheap tricks. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/04/facebooks-evil-interfa... The way I see, he is one of the worst things to happen to the Internet if not the worst, but that's just my opinion.
More interested in the algorithms of Google than a copy and paste of MySpace.

So, what happened after that?

Remember shooting the shit with him about this social network thing he was working on - he was wearing a dressing/smoking gown and drinking from a plastic bottle of vodka... down to earth guy, not above getting blotto with a couple of random brits - and I don't think at that stage even he expected it to go anywhere near as far as it has.
Not sure why I'm telling this tale, other than to illuminate that the guy's a human being, and an entertaining one at that.

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 b…
Actually what Google does is fairly trivial and not based on "artificial intelligence" ...
Really shows the incredible privilege and connections he had, so early in his life, that catapulted FB over all the other budding social networks. It's always about who you know to give your work wings (which is apt, since his project was a social network)
If you really go back and do some digging into the roots of facebook, you'll be amazed at how much press he got early on. He supposedly offered to do computer support work for the Harvard Crimson and in return he got press connections. Even before he launched thefacebook, he was getting write ups with facemash.
