For the first time since the birth of Facebook in 2004, for the first time since the birth of Facebook in 2004, Mark Zuckerberg organized a session Q&A on Thursday, during which more than 9,000 questions were asked by members of the social network.
Why Facebook obliges downloading a separate Messenger app?
Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that the separate installation of Messenger was a subject of "friction". But for him, "have a separate application allows you to concentrate on one action at a time. You probably go 15 or 20 times per day on your email and having to wait for Facebook to load, then multiply the steps to be able to read and write messages was really tedious."
The movie The Social Network was it "True Story"?
"I confess that I have not thinking a lot about this film, Zuckerberg said in a burst of laughter. I had to make a block."
For him, Writing lines of code and design of company were probably not enough "glamor" for us to do a movie about it and it was therefore necessary to improve and / or make up many elements.
Is-it true that Facebook becoming boring and there is no risk of being drowned by all the pictures and videos that are published?
"My goal was never to make Facebook something cool, said Mark Zuckerberg. I'm not someone cool and I've never really tried to be.We never wanted to make something exciting, but useful."
Moreover, for the young boss, the look of the site was largely dependent on the type of content that should be shared there. "There are five years on Facebook, there was almost as text, he reminds. And if we publish more videos, is that they reflect the moments of life that people like to share. "
Why do you wear the same T-shirt every day?
"I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community," Zuckerberg said, after clarifying that he had "multiple same shirts."
He said even small decisions like choosing what to wear or what to eat for breakfast could be tiring and consume energy, and he didn't want to waste any time on that.
"I'm in this really lucky position, where I get to wake up every day and help serve more than a billion people. And I feel like I'm not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things that are silly or frivolous about my life," he said.
Why fan pages they are not a strong audience?
For Mark Zuckerberg, there are two different reasons: There is a strong competition because of a growing mass of content on the network, but only 10% of messages are actually read. Every day, a member may see on average 1500 messages in his news feed but he consults only 100. "Nobody can see everything," said the officer.
If he understands the disappointment of the companies who post without being read, he also understand that members are more interested in a post on the newborn of their best friend ...For him, companies should "focus on high value content" that suddenly, seduce more people.
