Do you agree with Facebook's founder's 5 values?
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg outlined five core values for Facebook in a letter to people who may want to buy stock in the company:
1. Focus on Impact If we want to have the biggest impact, the best way to do this is to make sure we always focus on solving the most important problems. It sounds simple, but we think most companies do this poorly and waste a lot of time. We expect everyone at Facebook to be good at finding the biggest problems to work on.
2. Move Fast Moving fast enables us to build more things and learn faster. However, as most companies grow, they slow down too much because they're more afraid of making mistakes than they are of losing opportunities by moving too slowly. We have a saying: 'Move fast and break things.' The idea is that if you never break anything, you're probably not moving fast enough.
3. Be Bold Building great things means taking risks. This can be scary and prevents most companies from doing the bold things they should. However, in a world that's changing so quickly, you're guaranteed to fail if you don't take any risks. We have another saying: 'The riskiest thing is to take no risks.' We encourage everyone to make bold decisions, even if that means being wrong some of the time.
4. Be Open We believe that a more open world is a better world because people with more information can make better decisions and have a greater impact. That goes for running our company as well. We work hard to make sure everyone at Facebook has access to as much information as possible about every part of the company so they can make the best decisions and have the greatest impact.
5. Build Social Value Once again, Facebook exists to make the world more open and connected, and not just to build a company. We expect everyone at Facebook to focus every day on how to build real value for the world in everything they do.

i agree with the five values .The values are great and its true people need to learn how to take risk and stand out of the crowd and follow their own ideas even if people say they are crazy.I'm happy with the five values facebook ha.I'm also glad that they see it the way that they do.
These values seem very wise and reasonable. I wonder how long it took for him to come with these 5 values. It all depends on what kind of person he truly is, that's what decides on how long it took him. If people do place investments in Facebook, then it would be very wise for them to make sure these vales are currently being held. I believe that the investors that plan to invest in the Facebook orginization should also try to find out what the history of Facebooks worth is and always, always, always take the values into concideration.
Obviously, I must agree. Mark Zuckerberg has to be probably a multi-billionaire. This man has so much success with Facebook. I think the Move Fast point is the most important. MySpace stayed the same for just about the whole time. Now no one uses MySpace. Facebook is changing all the time and that's what, I think, keeps people using it.Technology moves quick and you have to keep up.
I don't have a Facebook because my mom says that kids have all kinds of problems on Facebook. But I think it's good that Facebook knows what they want their company to be like. I don't agree with the move fast one, though. The guy says "If you don't break anything, you're not moving fast enough." So this guy is saying that he wants to break things? That doesn't make sense to me.
I think that these values are very precise and important. I also believe that you have to risks, and not be afraid to fail. You have to learn from your failures, so that you can move on, and learn what you should and shouldn't do. Everyone fails before they succeed. Also, I love the saying, " move fast and break things." To explain, I think it is awesome that the boss, or leader of the company Mark Zuckerberg, is telling his workers what they need to hear. Almost nobody does anything completely perfect, especially the first time! For a boss to admit that things will be worse before they get better, is very understanding, and I have to compliment that.
I think that the CEO of Facebook is a little cocky. He is saying that you can never move slow and you always have to be working super fast. He is also saying that they have to take a lot of risks which is a good thing sometimes but sometimes it can end up bad and if I were him I would be worried about that. I think he should worry more about making sure everything is going good and it should not matter on the speed or the riskiness.
I agree with most of the things except, number two. Many companies started to move fast like Apple and they come out with products that have barely been improved and they're charging the same amount for. I also agree with the fact that companies need to take risks in order to succeed. I mostly agree with "Focus on Impact,"because the world want to see new things and more creative things rather than just the same old stuff. So I believe this is one of the reasons why Mark Zuckerberg has succeed and is becoming one of the biggest companies in the world.
i do agree that taking a risk is better than taking no risk, if you don't take a risk we will never learn and if you never learn more you will become stupid in a lot of ways
Facebook is a great way to communicate with friends, family, and missed connections. I like the way that Facebook has values, and that they are able to openly share these. But, I disagree with the "move fast" one. Since Facebook has recently generated their Timeline pages, I was assuming maybe they would give an option of keeping the old one. I've been waiting for Facebook to fix the change for people who do not like Timeline. But, I guess that's their form of "breaking things" along the way.
Facebook is they way to go to know other and get in touch with other people that you havent seen in a long time. I honstly love facebook.
