There's a saying among entreprenuers that goes "be smart enough to know when your getting lucky". Zuckerberg was smart in that he didn't exactly plan his success. He put something small out, tested it... it happened to work.. and then boom, he focused on what the users wanted... which is probably what makes craigslist so huge. Anyways, I liked this article. I'm about book mark this blog because I liked it so much. Thanks for sharing Phillip. To the above poster.. sorry man, but Zuckerburg hasn’t done anything particularly extra-ordinary.

Good catch! I noticed that too, as I watched Robin this morning. Is command of the English language so poor amongst the general public that usage of a fairly nondescript (though admittedly seldom employed) word, such as "ignominious," should be spotlighted?

He had fallen while running down the person who broke into his hotel room. He later explained his leg injury to the crowd at the National Geographic World Championship. He said he ..."fell in an ignominious heap..." while chasing the burglar. Robin thought it was funny that Trebek had used that big word and dismissed it as something no one would know the meaning of. She seriously giggled at the word. The story thus becoming "Man Uses Big Word" instead of the focus being on Trebek's bravery.

I'd say Zuckerberg to be at least borderline genius. What most of you fail to comprehend is that we no longer try to make bombs of the atomic caliber. Today is orbited by technological advances and computer capabilities. Zuckerberg is a genius in the sense he created a simple yet plain website. Even though this website would mimic a few others in terms of use. Zuckerberg's website flourishes, and only due to practicality. To possibly help with this debacle.
