Facebook Needs a new CEO

Let me tell you what will happen in Tech Industry in 2009. I think, most of the bloggers, experts, developers, publishers, advertisers will start to say “seriosly”; Facebook needs a new CEO. Yeah, they’ll say that; World’s 5th most visited site has to earn more. When you compare Facebook’s earnings with PlentyOfFish.com, you get surprised. Plentyoffish has nearly 1 million registered users and earns more than 350.000 dollars a month.  That’s really amazing. Facebook was not a very-well-monetized-web-site before indeed, but the new facebook design, killed and doubled unsuccess.  Okay Mark Zuckerberg is a genious, he is a smart guy but if he keeps on being an over-self-confidence guy, it will directly hurt facebook. I think, facebook urgently needs a new layout, needs to use 3rd party advertisers instead of their own flyers, they need to use large size of ad banners, and they need a new CEO, maybe.

Imitation is the soul of flattery, and the engine of Silicon Valley, Hence, Mark Zuckerberg Did it

Imitation is the soul of flattery, and the engine of Silicon Valley. Whatever can be copied, will be — especially when the copiers are pals. After a redesign, Facebook has made its status-update feature more prominent. It now asks users, “What are you doing right now? A sharp-eyed reader notes that those words are eerily similar to Twitter’s “What are you doing?” We wonder if this will pose any problems for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s newfound friendship with Twitter founder Ev Williams.

The Facebook Movie - Aaaron Sorkin Writing a Movie About The Founding Of The Popular Social Network.

The Facebook story is coming soon to a cineplex near you. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin confirmed yesterday on a Facebook group that he is writing a movie about the founding of the popular social network. A day after Facebook announced that it reached 100 million users around the world, Sorkin (or his assistant) wrote on the group page that he “just agreed to write a movie for Sony and producer Scott Rudin about how Facebook was invented.” Read The Rest

I just wonder; Will Aaron Sorkin will make a research or listen to Connectu’s founders before writing about that stuff? I don’t think so. If they’ll use “facebook” name in the film, Sorkin will obey Zuckerberg ’s rules

Facebook’s Founder Mark Zuckerberg announced that the site had reached a nice, round 100 million active users by way of a status update on his profile.

World’s Youngest Self-Made Billionaire Ever in History; Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg announced that the site had reached a nice, round 100 million active users by way of a status update on his profile. Though he may have been scooped by senior manager of the “Platform” group, Dave Morin — on Twitter.  Which should make for an awkward meeting. Marketing at least use the right tools to trumpet Facebook’s reach, but they might also expect a grumpy young master soon, too. Why? Read The Rest

A tipster reports spotting Mark Zuckerberg in San Francisco today, outside 21st Amendment in San Francisco. He was “having a conversation (all smiles) with two other guys,” our tipster tells us.

A tipster reports spotting Mark Zuckerberg in San Francisco today, outside 21st Amendment in San Francisco. He was “having a conversation (all smiles) with two other guys,” our tipster tells us. The restaurant and bar is near San Francisco’s South-of-Market startup epicenter, so there’s any number of reasons Zuckerberg might have been in town. But I can think of one reason why he’d be all smiles: He’s not in Palo Alto, where Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg is busily wrecking his company. When Zuckerberg hired Sheryl Sandberg as Facebook’s COO, he said she would not be in “overall charge” of the company, but would stick to running business operations. Read The Rest

Aaron Greenspan, an amiable young entrepreneur, toils a mere 15-minute walk south of the Palo Alto

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Aaron Greenspan, an amiable young entrepreneur, toils a mere 15-minute walk south of the Palo Alto, Calif., offices of Facebook Inc., where he’s forging something of a cottage industry out of needling the current darling of Silicon Valley.

Greenspan, who presents similar claims to have had an uncredited role in Facebook’s origins, said he has no intention of suing the company. He has, however, plunged into a quixotic and surprisingly adept legal effort to challenge the company’s registered trademark. In addition, he’s using the experience of publicly criticizing Facebook to inform his own startup.
