GOOGLE vs FACEBOOK

So basically Zuckerberg has made something of his life, created a multi billion dollar company, and you're jealous?
The stock markets are not illeagal, and unless you have any evidence that Facebook fund their activities through criminal enterpise then his wealth is neither ill gotten nor undeserved.
I will refuse to partake in your plan on the basis that you are a massive tool.

rofl, do you think i'm some commoner hating on the wealthy or successful?

I'm perfectly content, successful and wealthy. I won't profit anymore from this idea than any of the other users participating in the network.

It's because of attitudes like yours, people like me hold a disproportionate percentage of the world's wealth.

And when we try to be altruistic, we get unfounded critical feedback from the likes of you.

I always find it funny how the 'value' of Facebook is getting so high. I mean't their revenue is tiny, their profit is probably either non existent or tiny... Compare them to a company like Google who make huge profits almost all from advertising. I just wonder how facebook will ever turn a sizeable profit in their current model, it most certainly will not be from ad revenue that's for sure.

If you hate your supposed wealth so much, give it away, don't hate on and attempt to sabotage other people's right to make money. Everyone want's to be successful and it only appears to be those who aren't who want to ruin the dream for everybody else.
I'd like to think one day I will be rich and successful and I sure as hell wouldn't want some little brat from The Student Room hating me for it for no other reason than I am more successful than him.

There's a word for that, it's called competition. Are you Zuckerberg's lovechild? Do you have shares in FB? I bet your a linux hater.

I mean, what is with this FB fetish you seem to have. You act like Mark invented the social network. There were hundred's before him, and there'll be many after.

Atleast with my idea, users wouldn't need to move anywhere else, as that would equate to moving from your own house to live in a hotel, when you didn't have to.

In all honesty, from the brief exchange of words that we've had, I cannot see a time where you'll be rich. You display none of the characteristics required to be a successful citizen let alone a capitalist.

Humility, confidence and imagination. If you take anything away from this conversation let it be those 3 words. You're clearly not that smart, but luckily for you a high IQ won't necessarily mean you do not fulfil your ambitions.

This hero-worshipping of celebrity and super-rich that you do and many others, is one of the primary reasons why you keep getting stiffed.

You are right on one thing, I shouldn't have got personal (the douche comment) and focused more on the benefits for the users. Thank you for unknowingly highlighting that.

I know what competition is you numpty, I just don't beleive in hating someone because they are more successful than you, which is why you hate Facebook. You have given no evidence as to why Zuckerberg's wealth is illegimate/ill gotten.
He saw a opening in the market, and through hard work he built Facebook into the market leader. You go ahead with your own rival, I'm not going to stop you, all I have said is that I wont join you.
And what's this crap about Facebook making you move?
And frankly I don't care what your opinion of me is, you don't know a thing about me.
However from your rhetoric it is clear that you are neither rich nor successful. You are no doubt a working class Trade Unionist 'man of the people' who can't stand the fact that Zuckerberg has made it in life while you will be working well into your 60's.

It's not MY rival. Anyone can start it. I just dropped the idea on this forum, that's it. I didn't have to.

The hotel reference - If users were part of a network that was collectively owned and fully democratic, and a feature or a gui was available on another network that they liked, instead on moving to that network, they could ask for their own network to adopt those features.

You don't have to care about my opinion, but it hasn't changed. You're clearly trying to adopt a conservative idealogy, and by doing so you think people will see you in a certain way. But it's too put on (imitative).

I assure ol' boy, I'm no man of the people and am staunchly conservative.

Anyway GL with your endeavours. ciao

And I will have to assure you that I am equally staunchly conservative (hell if you could be bothered you could read my other posts on this forum) and this is no act.
I get the hotel reference now, but of course one problem with collective ownership is how to keep people interested in the project (see Ebsfleet United/MyFootballClub), and secondly funding. Ultimately Google will want a return on their investment, and I am interested to know why Google bankrolling a social network is any different to Goldman Sach/ Shady Russian businessmen.
