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.
I would consider...Google Plus a push technology. It's closer to Twitter than to Facebook.
The very first plan I wrote for MySpace was that it would be a portal, but a portal wrapped around your user profile.
I don't think of Twitter as a social network. I think of it as a messaging system that has a lot of social components to it.
Facebook is a platform inside a platform.
I joined Facebook in the summer of 2008 - before that I was at Mozilla.
My belief and goal is that every professional in the world should be on a service liked LinkedIn.
Twitter is not a business. I know its founders would like to think it is. It is, for the most part, a diversion.
One of the best and often overlooked traffic sources online is LinkedIn.
I've always thought MySpace sounds like a new estate agency in central London run by two men who favour large-lapel suits and goatees.
MySpace was so punk.
In the 'Angel' days, all there was was a community that was like a chat room. If you were looking for feedback, you had to look for it.
Founded in August 2003, MySpace would go on to be the most-visited social networking site in the world from 2005 until early 2008.
Facebook it turns out, is like MySpace but it's not scary. There aren't a lot of angry looking people with nose rings and um, issues.
