2018, Mark's year of being in the news for evil reasons only. Expected this.

Lmao....you don't know what you're talking about. Where money is, there is power.
Jeff and Gates are much more powerful and influential than Zuckerberg. Wait, do you even know what being influential is?
Don't mind him. He was just trying to highlight the fact that Mark has details of most individuals since he is the biggest investor in social network

How exactly did the government help Mark? Dude, work smart and quit blaming the govt.
you talk like a dunce.


The government helped mark because they created enabling environment for tech gurus to triumph.


Don't ever quote me again since you're a slave to this old useless politicians.


BTW: the US government have been able to generate over 2.0 gigahertz of electricity, while Nigeria is struggling with just 3000 megahertz so do the maths do you know what that means to tech world?


I repeat don't ever quote me again.

They aren`t telling you everything yet.
The real reason is privacy issues.

That's called business.

Integrating Facebook and Instagram has been great itself. Infact, when u pay for ad on Facebook you can make it run on Instagram without haveing to go through the stress.

You can even link Twitter with Facebook where your tweets or retweet could always be posted as a status.

Their resignation is not going to be a problem. They'rejusy like kids who wants no changes to his toys.

Mark is a visionary and a business man, you can't make him rigid!

I'm sure those guys will think they're gonna be building a new app...

I trust mark, he'll copy everything and as u right no, make it even more attractive.

He's after YouTube already... It's just a matter of time!!!
Google won't even sell

You are right but lost me when you mentioned Sprite. Look, the aim of every business is to maximize profit. No business would continue running at a loss. If there was no gain in Sprite they would've stopped a long time ago.
Yes, a company can continue producing a particular product even if they are not making profit from it, provided they are able to break-even and can cover for their variable cost. Even if Cocacola is not making profit from sale of sprite, they will rather continue producing to compete with 7UP rather than exit the market for them and they can cover up with the profit they are making from sale of cocacola, which is their cash cow.

By the way I am not entirely saying Cocacola are not making profit from sale of sprite. I only used that to support the need for facebook to introduce features of other apps on their platform to compete with them where they refuse to sell grin grin grin

It's called business. Why build when you can buy it outrightly? Building a division to be the best takes time, so if buying it is easier in the long run, then buy.

Bayer bought Monsanto cos of the latter's proficiency in plant biotechnology ditto Takeda buying Shire Pharmaceuticals cos of Shire's knowledge in rare diseases.

Bayer and Takeda have the money. I like Mark's business knowledge. Those Insta guys come across as charitable folks. Maybe they should create an app for Oxfam. grin
Baba, u dn off me.

There is no such thing as over-achieveing.
Zuckerberg didn't force anyone to sell to him nor give in to his demands. No one can ever have monopoly of anything in America and there is always healthy competition.
And antitrust laws.

Chief, there is something called enabling environment and Nigeria has never been structured to enable technology and education.

CoolAmbience:
I think your point is a bit off.

From what was written here, Mark is breaching a clear agreement that they had.

For some people, it is not about amassing wealth, they want to retain the orginality of their creation.

You may not be able to understand this though.
People like nairaland's founder.

Monetizing everything pls what do u mean by that?

One more thing u said spit on Nigeria government for not making us tech gurus, Guy no be government fault is your university, pls don't involve government on this one. See programming language there go and learn and build your own app for Nigeria.
The govt should be blamed,our educational system is wack and outdated, it's the responsibility of the govt to formulate n come up with a new system of education that is abreast with the contemporary world.

Zuckerburg is turning social media into his own empire , where he reigns supreme.
His monopolistic style is killing healthy competition and innovation: if he can't buy you over, he steals your ideas and makes whatever made yours attractive, well, less attractive.

Big Ups to the Snapchat dude for not letting Mark completely take over.

In as much as I love Zuckerberg's personality I think he is overreaching, trying to over-achieve. He is trying to make others do what he never did: sell his creation.
you can't blame Mark. Ever since Facebook wetin public shareholders and board members have pushed for a more aggressive tactics.



I read somewhere his board are even trying to remove hi as CEO because they believe he's too meek and not pushing hard enough

Technology or social media?

I think Elon Musk is the badass for technology presently
Elon musk imo is slightly overrated. His Tesla model cars have been hit and miss.



One thing he did that stood out was PayPal

They are too big already. Same way Google plus failed is the same way Instagram TV will fail too

Facebook is a dying platform. He's trying to inject life into it by stealing from the userbase of other, less controversial platforms, such as Whatsapp and Instagram.

Yea because they are in an environment where they can easily assess information via so many channels. How do u teach ur self coding when you don't have assess to internet.my brother so many factors contributed to those guys developing those stuffs.
