Bright FuturaYoung Zuckerberg: What Was Facebook Suppose To Be?
In 2005, Young Zuckerberg had a narrow vision for Facebook.
“I mean, I just really want to see everyone focus on college and make a really cool college directory product,” he told the interviewer. “There doesn’t necessarily have to be more…Part of making a difference and doing something cool is focusing intensely.”
What do you think Facebook is?
“I think Facebook is an online directory for colleges…If I want to get information about you, I just go to TheFacebook, type in your name, and it hopefully pulls up all the information I’d care to know about you,” Zuckerberg said.

What really set Mark apart is that he actually tried. Something many of us would never even dare to do.
We so often only see the end product that we forget that at some point it was just a simple prototype. And before it was that it was just a tiny little idea in someones head.
The Mona Lisa, The Taj Mahal, the Pyramids, equality for all race and creeds, and even Facebook were all just ideas in someone’s head. What’s in yours?
