Wow, I remember when I was taking in offers from companies, people were telling me to go to Facebook. It's all about Facebook! And although it has a strangle hold on social networking... that's the thing, It's social networking. It's a trendy thing. A fleeting thing. I just couldn't consider Facebook as a future place of work, it's going to be Friendster soon enough. I mean look at MySpace. It's was all the craze 6 months ago. Where the hell is it now? Tila Tequila Who?
So this all takes me back 6 years ago when Napster was all the rage and Shawn Fanning was a P-I-M-P... well... for a brief amount of time. Then record companies came down hard on his candy ass and it was all over. He had a chance to cash out and he didn't. Does this sound fimiliar to somebody now? *cough* Mark Zuckerman. The brother needs to be smart and sell this shit for the billions that people are offering and cash out because he something waaaaaaay more scary than the record companies coming his way: A thousand other social networking sites.
Soon, Facebook will be up on the social networking trophy wall next to Friendster and MySpace and we'll all look back and say... wow... that must have sucked for Mark.

With that being said, much props for him sticking to his baby. I really admire him for that. But to me, that's just being too attached to your work. The billions he would get would afford him the possibility to pursue all his other dreams. That's just my opinion though. We'll see how things turn out.
