Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO and founder has recently revealed to Dan Lyons that he has a long term plan and at 25 he knows where his future lies. He talked about focusing on the Facebook platform in an attempt to make other sites more social while simultaneously expanding Facebook’s already extensive membership.
When he was asked about funding, he said, “Back in the early days I had the chance during one of our funding rounds to get a bit of liquidity,” he stated  “It meant that in making decisions about Facebook I didn’t have to worry about the short term.  I could just work on making Facebook as good as possible, and optimize it for 10 to 20 years out.” Zuckerberg went on to say, “I think this is a long-term thing.  There is still a lot of growth.  In all these dimensions - users, advertisers - the peak is not for a long time.”
It’s great for him to have a concept of where he wants the company placed in 20 years, I’m sure that’s going to make investors really confident. Why don’t we start with a two year plan Mark….
