You'll no doubt soon be scolded for mentioning that quote, but it will continue to be relevant for as long as Zuckerberg's actions continue display that mentality. We'll soon have somebody telling us he said that years ago and people change, but the only thing that changed with Zuck is he became a bit more diplomatic and guarded with his language. Actions speak louder than words and Zuckerberg's actions speak clearly.

He's the same old dirt bag he ever was. Here are some fresh stories to back that up:

Yeah. If there was some evidence that Zuckerberg's overall approach had changed, I too would argue that continually resurfacing an old quote until the the end of time is unfair and unproductive.

All of Zuckerberg's and Facebook's actions, however, continue to suggest that his approach hasn't changed.

Yeah, for a funny example, we seem to have (mostly) stopped reminding Google of their old "don't be evil" slogan, since it became obvious their overall approach had changed ;-)

I used to be one of the scoldiers saying things like "oh all young nerds say dumb stuff when bragging to their friends"

Honestly the vibe's still there if you pay him/fb enough attention. I'm working on extracting myself completely from them (Still got a few group messages on upcoming events to clear)

You got anything else? I am not really impressed by those stories.
