Image via Wikipedia After Mark Zuckerberg’s keynote at Facebook’s f8 today in San Francisco, he emerged from backstage and ran into Salesforce.com’s Marc Benioff, who had come to the event out of sheer curiosity. “The best strategy ever from a technology company,” Benioff said to Zuckerberg, and even the Facebook CEO was wowed by the statement. But there’s no question—Facebook remains the most ambitious, most technologically sophisticated, fastest-moving Internet company.

Les Inrocks : Sean Parker: De Napster à Facebook, un héros très discret
Flamboyant, hédoniste, double extraverti du créateur de Facebook Marc Zuckerberg... le personnage exubérant qu'interprète Justin Timberlake dans le film The Social Network de David Fincher ressemble-t-il vraiment au Sean Parker de la real life ? Si le journaliste David Kirkpatrick, auteur du livre The Facebook Effect, le décrit dans Vanity Fair comme "un oracle du Web, avec un côté débauché," au "style de vie de rock-star", c'est pourtant en toute discrétion que Sean Parker a contribué à façonner internet. Après s'être fait piquer, adolescent, en train de hacker des sites de grandes entreprises, cet autodidacte a mis à profit ses compétences informatiques en s'associant avec Shawn Fanning, pour créer Napster. A 19 ans, Parker et Fanning vont totalement bouleverser l'industrie musicale avec ce service gratuit d'échange de fichiers en peer-to-peer.
Over the weekend I wrote an article about Facebook’s mobile plans, particularly that they are working on a branded mobile phone. Facebook said the story was innacurate, despite CNET , Alley Insider and others writing independent stories confirming that Facebook was working on a phone. We responded aggressively . Facebook reached out to us on Monday to clear the air, and invited us to Facebook HQ in Palo Alto, California to speak to CEO Mark Zuckerberg directly about Facebook’s mobile plans.

In Jim Sheridan’s 2009 film Brothers , Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire play two siblings that are opposites. Maguire’s Sam is an Army captain, a straight-laced hard worker, and a family man. Gyllenhaal’s Tommy is a fresh-out-of-jail convict, a general screw-up, and someone who doesn’t seem to care anyone but himself. But then everything changes (and I’m not giving anything away that isn’t in the trailer). Sam goes off the deep-end and becomes the erratic one, while Tommy morphs into the hard-working family man.
Facebook And Twitter Are On A Collision Course. And We’re In The
It is customary to divide online advertising into two categories: direct response and brand advertising. I prefer instead to divide it according to the mindset of users: whether or not they are actively looking to purchase something (i.e. they have purchasing intent ).* When users are actively looking to purchase something, they typically go to search engines or e-commerce sites.

Exclusive: Discussing the Future of Facebook and the Facebook Ec
There’s no shortage of big initiatives going on at Facebook these days. We sat down with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg this week to talk about the state and future of Facebook and its surrounding ecosystem. Zuckerberg shared his thoughts on recent changes to the Facebook Platform, competitive dynamics he desires amongst developers, the surprising growth of the social games business on Facebook overall, his vision for Facebook Credits, market perceptions of Facebook’s revenue streams and overall revenue numbers, what the company learned from its period of serious interest in Twitter, and Facebook’s company culture around money. Today, Facebook’s 1,400 employees are working on products to better serve and monetize its nearly 500 million monthly active users around the world – up from 150 million at the start of 2009. We estimate the company did between $600 to $700 million in revenues last year, and will see between $1 and $1.1 billion in overall revenues this year.
