Do you consider Mark Zucerberg to be really lucky with facebook?

I think facebook and this whole social bussines is starting to get out of hand.

Seriously when i visit a damn website i don't want to be spammed with "LIKE US" or "TWEET US" buttons in like 20 places on the pages.

I visited a tech site yesterday, the whole social icons were taking 30 % of the page,this is rediculous.

Not to mention these things are a breeding ground for stupidity, hatred and inculture.

But on the flipside there is some value to them, for people keeping in touch with distant relatives and such.

Finally to answer your question, i don't think luck has anything to do with it, financial backing on the other hand did.

Believe me if he didn't grab the attention of his backers when he did facebook would be just another social site by now.
