Personally, I think the "Zuckerberg Curve" was Zuckerberg's First Law. That guy makes a lot of laws. http://www.killnine.com/comics/25.php http://www.killnine.com/comics/25.php

Sounds like a 24 year old to me.

  As a 25-year-old, I'm insulted by this comment.

Shall no fart pass without a tweet? If you have Zuckerberg luck (henceforth known as "Zuckluck")-- the kind of +5 sigma noise that can only befall mediocre talent-- you can sell a rightly-placed fart for billions of dollars.

  I'm not sure why I understand the hate on this guy. He put one foot in front of the other and made something for himself. Who doesn't want that...?

    Unfortunately he just seems to be a twat. I'm not sure exactly what it is about him, but his personality as revealed by his words, body language and attitude just strike the rest of the world as undeniably twattish. In an alternative universe, Mark Zuckerberg is working as a junior analyst for some large company, and his workmates think he's a bit of a twat. In this universe, he's the CEO of a billion-dollar company and everybody still thinks he's a twat.

      Remember, he's a Harvard twat. Which means in that alternate university, he would have been a senior analyst.

        If you're talking about investment banks, they all start at the same level. Anyone from Harvard who has to settle for I-banking is not worthy of special status.

      Really? Because to me he always seemed like an awkward nerd who felt uncomfortable talking to people. But he always seemed nice about it. Just... nice in an "I have a big idea and suddenly I have to speak in front of a hundred people" way.

      This observation is childish at best, and it smells of jealousy.

        No, he got it about right.

        Jealous of what? No profits, no business plan, fumbling with the developer platform and with Beacon (or whatever their ad platform was called)

Though I must admit I HAVE NOT being inside zuckerburgs anus day in and day out so I can't judge the guy; I must say that from outside looking in, we have to respect what he's done. Sure its easy to criticize but its a very simple fact that he had the vision/balls to make pretty bold moves and have them pay off. How many of you guys can honestly say you could run that big of a company as CEO mind you. Not just some tech guy, some programmer but as C.E.O. AND programmer I have to respect him for that. He has made pretty swift and successful business moves which can't be said for a lot of startups. Who would turn down 1 billion dollars, only to be valued at 10 times that later? Did we all forget about the success of the facebook api? It is ironic that I am defending the guy, because I never went to college, so when fb was happening and all my peers were using it - I couldn't .And I do remember the douch-ness of his "a mark zuckerburg production" copyright details coupled with a logo that had HIM IN IT - but that is besides the point.

At least in P2P networks, sharing is going down. http://www.evidenzia.de/eng_stats_all_releases_line.html http://www.evidenzia.de/eng_stats_all_releases_line.html

For the 'law' to be stated equivalently to Moore's law it should state: 1) the rate at which consumers will be able to organize their information, for a given cost, will double every year, or 2) the rate at which facebook will be able to evaluate a quantity of information, at a given cost, will double every year. The percentage of information consumers choose to share is more of a question of market adoption.
