I wonder how Mike Matas would feel after a year of being at Facebook...
When I first read about them and heard his TED talk, I really believed in what he was saying, that they aspired to change the way the world reads. I believed in his revolution...
So, this is definitely a let down...
- mkramlich 15y agoIt's easier to change the world after you get Bank.
- lurch_mojoff 15y agoSure, it is. But Push Pop got a ton of publicity partly because of Al Gore and partly because of Mike's passionate Ted talk, so I presume they would have been able to get more than enough funding. And of course you can't change the world if someone does it before you. Anyway, the folks at Push Pop Press, as well as Sofa and the rest of top tier design talent that Facebook have been eating up, are smart bunch and I'm sure they know what and why are they doing. Or it could be the allure of a metric buttload of money.
- americandesi333 15y agoI want to believe that its because Facebook is showing them a bigger 'vision' but this smells like $$ to me... People can be smart but sometimes the short-term allure of happiness (in this case the payout) can harm their long-term growth and impact to the world.
