Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They’re keeping up with their friends and family, but they’re also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand. They’re connecting with the audience that the want to connect to. It’s almost a disadvantage if you’re not on it now. – Mark Zuckerberg
Advertising works most effectively when it’s in line with what people are already trying to do.

No one has done a study on this, as far as I can tell, but I think Facebook might be the first place where a large number of people have come out.

Video is growing very quickly on Facebook. A lot of people compare that to YouTube. I think that kind of makes sense.

I hope that Facebook and other Internet technologies were able to help people, just like we hope that we help them communicate and organize and do whatever they want to every single day, but I don’t pretend that if Facebook didn’t exist, that this wouldn’t even be possible.
