There's certainly a lot of truth here. However, Mark Zuckerberg built the company to last. So I think it's unlikely that it will completely be marginalized.

Regarding the Zuck = Jobs. Absolutely not. Yes, they are both product people. But Mark Zuckerberg does not have the same aura or doesn't necessarily have the same depth of intellectuality that Jobs (college dropout or not) had. When I see Mark Zuckerberg, I think more of the Bill Gates or our time than an artistic genius with deep root in counter-culture lifestyle.

I disagree. Not that I think Zuck = Jobs, but I disagree with the "absolutely not" portion. I mean, Jobs post-NeXT is not the same person as pre-NeXT Jobs. From what I've read, Zuckerberg at this IPO is a very different person from the Zuckerberg at the early years of Facebook and I don't think his growth is stopping here. I don't think it's fair to be comparing these two figures at this point.

Bill Gates has got a lot of technology insight and vision. What's Mark's vision? Connecting people in a world where people are already connected?

Bill's vision was: a computer on every desk. When he was saying this, this was very bold.

" Mark Zuckerberg built the company to last. So I think it's unlikely that it will completely be marginalized."

Really great point. I love the reasoning you give to back up your arbitrary statements.

He lacks the intellectual depth.
