1. Mark’s passion was to be substantial in order to get the attention of the clubs. He’s prepared to sacrifice basically anything and everything.
2. He got in trouble because he took photos that were not his without permission and used it to offend others. He violated individual’s privacy rights and distribution digitized images.
3. It shows that he just wants to do something substantial and doesn’t necessarily care about the money.
4. Harvard Connection provided an easier way to communicate and keep up with your friends than Myspace and Friendster. It was also only used between the people of Harvard.
5. Mark had a difficult time making and keeping friends so he used Facebook as a way to make himself better known, likable, and able to make friend. The Winklevoss twin wanted Facebook for the idea that it would make billions of dollars, whereas Mark valued having a friend more than money.
6. Mark and Eduardo friendship was very trusting and communicative between each other. They rely on each other for the things that they lacked. It broke down because Mark’s ambition caused him to become obsessive and value the future of Facebook rather than the future of their friendship. Evidently, Mark befriended Sean and was closer to him than Eduardo because Mark’s world revolved around Facebook.
7. A Friend wanted him to find out the relationship status of someone in his class. He then replied “I don’t know. It’s not like she carried a sign with her that says it”. Then he realized that he can make that happen.
8. People liked Facebook because it was new, cool, and easy to access. He thought advertisement would make it less likeable. Yes he did, because he waited until it got popular and addictive then add advertising to the site. By this time, people were too into Facebook to care about it.
9. Mark saw Erica at a restaurant and wanted to talk to her but she embarrassed him in front of her friends. He wanted to show her how successful he had become by expanding his site to other schools, including hers.
10. It is a way of expressing oneself without feeling embarrassed or having to face the opinion of others
11. The Typed word is so powerful because it cannot be erased. It is attempting to misuse the power because people can type they’re thoughts very quickly and everyone can see it as soon as it is posted. However, there is no way to undo it if one regrets it. Positive things social network is capable are communicating with others in a rapid speed.
12. Sean Parker is the founder of Napster.
13. The film portrays that the way to “coolness” is with money. If users knew that their lives were being use to make money, they would probably feel very exposed and used, however some may not care as long as the pleasure of Facebook was at their disposal.
14. Online, we can be whoever we want to be and Facebook allows us to showcase that, even if it is not true. This affects our identity and self-image because we are not accepting who we really are and instead, making up a whole new image that possibly cannot be brought up to.
15. Mark cheated by posting the images on Facebook and getting others opinions on it.
16. When he expanded Facebook internationally
17. Sean only cared about fame, party, and drugs. Eduardo was pushed out of the business by only getting .03 percent, which was basically nothing.
18. The film shows that Mark is overly ambitious and is prepared to do anything to reach his goals. He stole the base of the idea but made it better
19. Facebook is a good way to communicate with friends and family that are far away, however, Facebook is an easy place for cyber bullying and pretending to be someone you’re not.
20. The impact is that it has allowed people to communicate and meet internationally.
21. Very good film to learn from, especially for entrepreneurs. I responded to Mark by thinking he is an asshole, but a smart asshole.
