Picture of our facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg’s Keynote Speech at the Facebook F8 Developer Conference was pretty bad, as all of my readers have agreed. He positioned Facebook as a world changing platform for entrepreneurship and developers. He clearly wants to see people build applications off Facebook as if it were an […]
