That's actually good to hear and I meant Mark although obviously Mark != Facebook. When I say "not a jerk" I'm thinking a strong respect for liberty (individual rights / respect for the rights of others). However, and a lot of this is influenced by allegations, Mark has done the following wrong by my reckoning, enough to question whether he is safely "not a jerk": 1. Been trusted with source code and market insight from a group he worked with, told them it was useless and then used it to develop his own site. 2. Shown little respect for privacy or IP concerns of users until market pressure forced him. 3. Been dishonest with users by changing terms and using the data of users for Facebook business purposes without explicit permission (now largely rectified). 4. Copied the look, feel and features of early competitors while litigating those who attempt the same with Facebook. 5. Allegedly (unlikely perhaps) given away a share of the company as part of overdue project complications and not advised future investors. While a lot of this is probably untrue, it's enough for me to question the man's integrity, honesty and ability to be trusted.
