Mark Zuckerberg Quotes

I have to say, I worry about Twitter. Not that it will survive - they don't need my blessing for that - but that it will stay the kind of open, community-enhancing-and-enabling site that made it flourish at the outset.

Smart phones and social media expand our universe. We can connect with others or collect information easier and faster than ever.

Even with all the negativeness of the whole social media thing, I still think it's leaps and bounds more positive.

I can think of the number of people who were like, 'I will never get a cellphone because I don't want people calling me all the time.
