20 year old. And hardly a failure, considering that most of the stuff he announced was created and tested there first. He s just copying concepts.
But real-time chatting is not dense, it s in fact very reduntant with lots of information being discarded left and right, and avatats can still text each other. The idea of 3d stuff is just an evolution of that imho, a messenger with extra stuff
We have this stuff already btw, second life users do that every day, but Zuck didnt even mention it.
