> doesn't mean you know shit about what it takes to build a successful social network

I am having a Digg feeling as I read these threads.

I also believe very little of the success of Facebook comes from the people who work(ed) on Facebook. Facebook's value comes from its user base, as does its success. Facebook got good enough at just the right time while lots of others failed to attract users. To claim its designers had some secret insight on how social networks functioned that was high above the level of understanding of others is risky.

BTW, there's just too much drama here.

And, before anyone asks, I didn't go to Harvard either.




... and when I get downvoted for saying this "you know shit" arrogance, it gets even more Digg-ish.

Please, kids, go play in your room with your toys. Stop bothering the adults.
