The Words from Mark Zuckerberg's Letter From the Facebook Filing

Mark did not intend to build Facebook as a company to make the money, but to accomplish a social mission -- to make the world more open and connected. But he need to enable it profitable so that more talented individuals and more investors could come to flourish this base to provide a solid foundation upon which the revolutionary works can be achieved to push the edges of information society. 

Why revolutionary? Facebook not only changes the way people communicate each other but brings a new fashion (bottom-up) to the society where people own the powers to control the flows of information. The contributions from the people in turns help the industries to build up more advanced services for the society. Facebook here is not the owner of the personal information but the catalyst working on the society and economy transformation.

  • Facebook hopes to strengthen how people related to each other
  • Facebook hopes to improve how people connect to businesses and the economy
  • Facebook hopes to change how people relate to their governments and social institutions
  • Facebook don't build services to make money; Facebook make money to build better services
  • Facebook act on the Hacker Way
Facebook's core values:
  • Focus on Impact
  • Move Fast
  • Be Bold
  • Be Open
  • Building Social Value
