When Facebook first started, and it was just a social directory for undergrads at Harvard, it would have seemed like such a bad startup idea, like some student side project.

Mark Zuckerberg, a student at Harvard, had the idea in the winter of 2004. He started off with the idea of creating a universal online database for college students with social-networking functionality.He revamped the idea of the original college facebooks-the books of bad freshman-year ID photos and boring information-by putting them online and giving students the control over the information they wanted to share with others.

It is a very bad idea for governments to create arbitrary and unfair outcomes, or outcomes resulting from the passions and whims of the government rather than from the law, just because they have the power to do so.

I've never seen bad drawing destroy a good idea. On the other hand, I've never seen a good drawing save a bad idea.

We're a tribe. We started as an architectural project and ended up as a social experiment.

Social conservatism, business conservatism: the one side constitutes the other, like some infernal Mobius strip.
