That may be true, but give the guy a little credit, he created a service that has 750 million active users. How many other people can say that?

- gnaritas 15y agoI do believe I said it's popular. That's not making history though.
- AltIvan 15y agoYeah, creating something thas is popular IS history... people will still remember Michael Jackson... and Facebook... and another bunch of useless extremly popular things.
- muuh-gnu 15y ago> people will still remember Michael Jackson People do and will remember Jackson because of the music with lasting value he left behind, not because they remember listening to that music 20 years ago. Facebook will, wenn G+ eats its lunch in a year or two, leave nothing tangible, audible or visible behind. Facebook will be just a memory, and memories quickly fade. Do you remember browsing geocities or tripod sites? Exactly. Me neither.
- wisty 15y agoLarry and Sergy, Robyn Li, the iTunes store, the QQ guys, Jerry Yang and David Filo, Ballmer. (note, I'm guessing) There's tonnes of sites that serve 750 million. No service that has the same amount of activity, but in 10 years a few status updates will seem like usernet does today.
- olivercameron 15y agoJeez, you guys don't see the significance of a product having 750 million active users? I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it's historical significance, especially without any precedent.
- dorian-graph 15y agoNo precedent? I assume you know of MySpace and the like so what do you mean there is no precedent to Facebook? Or do you mean to a product that has 750 million active users?
- olivercameron 15y agoMySpace had nowhere near the audience of Facebook, today. And yes, I mean a product that has nearly 750 million active users.
