So I just read Time Magazine on Person of The Year 2010, which is Mark Zuckerberg. I am fascinated by his invention that literally change people's life, facebook. It changed how people interact each other. We can connect even more with our long lost friends, we can post what we are actually doing, and we can post pics and share articles or news that we enjoyed. In a way, being on facebook means we can show our personality to the world. Right now, facebook has 500 million users and keeps on increasing. In the article, it was said that if facebook keeps growing in current pace, it will likely reach 120 million users by 2012. So thank you Mark Zuckerberg for inventing facebook. If you meet Mark Zuckerberg, what are you going to say or ask him?

I don't really use Facebook that much. I seldom log in there. Almost all my friends post every minute of their lives there though so I guess they'll kneel down when Mark Zuckerberg showed up in front of them. Maybe I'll just say "Hey, thanks for making kids addicted to Facebook. My brother doesn't bother me anymore whenever I'm playing PS2."

LOL, it really makes people addictive, have you tried twitter? I have friends that even post their status update like every few minutes. That's I called addictive. Hahaha, your brother must be like checking up facebook every minutes. Thanks for the response

Hello friend,
if i meet Mark, i'll tell him just one thing and it will be: "Good job friend". I think that he knows very good what he has done, he knows how useful and amazing project is that and he knows pretty well how to earn money. He knows the borders of his success and i don't think that if someone is famous we have to think for him like he is something half person, half God. He is just a man, like all of us, but had one brilliant idea.

I really like your last sentence, yes he is just a human like us who has brilliant idea and know how to realize it. Some people are just too afraid too realize their dream and take those steps to be succesful. I think he is very brave to left all his education to pursue his dream, but Steve Jobs and Bill Gates did that and look they are now

I really thank Mark Zuckerberg for inventing facebook.
And I want to say him if I will meet him that "What is your inspiration?"
Since Facebook was founded in 2004, it has repeatedly evolved to make it easier for people to share and consume information in trusted and more efficient ways. Facebook has always focused on establishing real identity and user profiles, and that identity continues to be foundational for all of the company’s products and monetization plans today.In late 2006, Facebook created the now-famous News Feed, making it easier than ever for users to keep track of friends’ activity on the site. Facebook then launched the Facebook Platform in 2007, enabling thousands of developers to leverage Facebook’s data to create a new wave of web applications with deeper social context than had been possible before. Facebook extended that context to the rest of the web, desktop, and mobile through Facebook Connect late last year.

Agentdas, you are copying your last paragraph from insidefacebook.com right? =D Anyway I also want to ask him the same question, but it is pretty much his inspiration is how to connect people even more, with sharing pics, status, wall etc. If you watch Social Network, although it was not the real depiction of Zuckerberg, pretty much giving you background and why facebook was invented

If I ever see Mr. Mark I would probably be in awe on a billionaire that is just 4 years older than me. I would just say hi. I don't think he is the high and mighty type of guy.
I just hope facebook will continue. Just remember that social networking sites come and go. Think Friendster and myspace.

Yes, it is amazing how he can be a billionaire when he is just three years older than me. It is a combination of his brain, technology, and how he briliantly captured niche market in the society. I think facebook is the pinnacle of the social networking sites, although it would be highly probable there are more interesting sites in the future

If I ever met Mark I would congratulate him for his wonderful invention which is used by so many people and I would also ask him if his behaviour is different now that's he's so rich and famous compared to the period when he was just an"ordinary"person.I would be very curious to find out if money and fame raised to his head or if he kept his feet on the ground and continued to act normally.

One thing for sure, it must be hard to him to keep up with his usual activities since nowadays it seems there are many conferences, discussions, or events he attend being that he is now the Silicon Valley youngest hot figure, acquire wealthiness in such young age, beating Steve Jobs and Bill Gates

Thanks for giving me a way to stalk my one sided crush? LOL xD. And for giving me a way to reconnect to my high school buddies, teachers, best friend (miles away), close friend (on the other side of the world!), and sister whom I didn't get along well with before.
Thanks for the newsflash sophisticated_boy. I didn't think Facebook was such a big deal, now I realize it is. I think Mark Zuckenberg deserves the award.

If I were to met him I guess I would ask why isn't there a don't like this option? Most of the stuff I see people put on there is crap. To me it isn't that great a thing. I just signed up for it because there was suppose to be information about my highschool reunion on it. I don't see how people can waste so much time on there. As for the long lost friends, if there were such great friends then how did they get long lost? Did you just forget to call or see them one day and then years later said I wonder what happened to them?
I check it every once in a while out of bordumb and I see people putting pictures of them they take from their phones, what is the purpose of that? Oh I know people don't know how I've changed in 5 minutes I'll post a new picture. Ot really does show how people are starting to have no life and what they really think about their friends. Another one is how people say something bad happened and people will ask what happened and the original poster will never answer. What was the point of posting in the first place then?

Yes they made a great invention but do you know he earned millions everyday because of us and they didn't shared any penny from it. Unlike mylot who are concerned with all their members and that is the reason the management shared portions of their earnings to all members because of our activity everyday.I am not facebook addict although I log-in everyday because of my family and friends but never I play any game from facebook. For me I think it's a waste of time to stay log-in and participate the whole on that site.

Hi there,
I don't use facebook much. I think i would give more credits to the creator of this site, rather than i would for facebook. Well remove one from that 500 million users, i just happened to disable my fb account yesterday! I am just a little sick of it.. I don't want to see things i don't want to, neither want to be bothered much over there. Although this just might be temporary because i stay connected to my friends in other countries, i would not want them to feel bad. I am not going to use facebook much anyway. I am a psycho i guess, i tend to give rude comments and try to make myself seem like a real evil. I don't really care, and i don't care if others get me the wrong way, i just want to be cold villain at fb, when i am really not.
I think i would kidnap Mark Zuckerberg and demand for ransom!
Anyways, i am interested to watch the movie social network.

There would only be one thing that I would want to say to Mark Zuckerberg if I ever had the opportunity to meet him. That one thing would be thank you for so many things. Being a member of facebook has enabled me to keep in contact with friends of mine from high school as well as family members that I very rarely have the opportunity to see. Most recently, however, it has connected me back with a friend of mine that I hadn't seen or heard from for almost eight years.
