In a Mashable piece about his take on the film ‘The Social Network’, Mark says this,
We build products that 500 million people seeâ?¦ If 5 million people see a movie, it doesnâ??t really matter that much.
That sounds massively incongruous coming from someone who’s product is built upon, among others, six degrees of separation and the power of networking. What if each of those 5 million people have 500+ friends on Facebook, who see what they feel about the film? What if those 5 million people have, on an average, 100+ followers on Twitter and who tune in to what they feel about the film and Mark?
Isn’t that viral, networking effect the main thing that the world is going ga-ga over, for sites like Facebook? The same thing that brands and film production houses are pinning their hopes on…that many people will use their brands/see their films and spread their word online and multiply those numbers?
Strange!
