Mark Elliot Zuckerberg or also known as Mark Zuckerberg was born in White Plains, New York, May 14, 1984, age 27 years. Son of Edward and Karen Zuckerberg. He is a computer programmer and entrepreneur from the United States. Become wealthy in a relatively very young age because it managed to establish and develop a social networking site Facebook when I was in college with the help of friends Harvard Andrew McCollum and Eduardo Saverin roommates Dustin Moskovitz and Hughes Crish. Currently he serves as CEO of Facebook. Zuckerberg was born a Jew, but he proclaimed himself an atheist
Mark Zuckerberg started programming when he sat in junior high school. His father taught BASIC Programming Atari in the 1990s and then a software developer David Newman became tutor in about 1995. Zuckerberg also took courses with the subject at Mercy College near his home in the mid-1990s. He studied at Ardsley High School where he excelled in classical field, then moved in the first year to Phillips Exeter Academy where he was engaged in the field of Latin.He is also designing and programming computer systems applications to help workers communicate in the office of his father, he built a version of the game Risk, and under the name of the company's Intelligent Media Group, he built a music player called Synapse Media Player that uses artificial intelligence to learn the habits users to listen, which was posted to Slashdot and get rank 3 of 5 from PC Magazine. Microsoft and AOL tried to buy a Synapse and recruit Zuckerberg, but he actually went to Harvard College in September 2002 where he studied computer science and joined Alpha Epsilon Pi, a Jewish fraternity. In college, he was known as the reader's line of epic poetry such as The Iliad.
Zuckerberg launched Facebook from Harvard dorm room on February 4, 2004. An early inspiration of Facebook may come from Phillips Exeter Academy, a private high school where Zuckerberg graduated in 2002. It publishes a student directory itself, which forces the student book called "The Facebook". Such images directory is an essential part of social experience for most students at private schools. With this, students can enroll in a variety of things such as force, their closeness with friends, and their phone numbers.
After college, starting up just as the "Harvard of goods" until finally Zuckerberg decided to deploy to another school, register with the help of roommate Dustin Moskovitz. They first started from Stanford, Dartmouth, Columbia, New York University, Cornell, Brown, and Yale, and then at other schools that have social contact with Harvard.
Zuckerberg moved to Palo Alto, California, with Moskovitz and a few friends. They rented a small house that serves as an office. During the summer, Zuckerberg met Peter Thiel who invested in the company. They got their first office in mid-2004. According to Zuckerberg, they plan to return to Harvard, but eventually decided to remain in California. They have rejected a bid by big companies who will buy Facebook. In an interview in 2007, Zuckerberg explained why:
It's not about money. For me and my colleague, the most important thing is that we create an open flow of information to the people. Companies owned by media conglomerate is not only an interesting idea for me. He expressed again the same goals to Wired magazine in 2010: "All I care about is the mission, making an open world." Earlier, in April 2009, Zuckerberg seek advice from Netscape's former chief financial officer Peter Currie of the financing strategy for Facebook.
On July 21, 2010, Zuckerberg reported that the company reached 500 million users. When asked if if could get more income from advertising as a result of phenomenal growth, he explained: I think we can ... If you look at how many pages we are taken to a portion of advertising relative to the average search query. The average for us is a little less than 10 percent of the pages, and the average for the search is about 20 percent are taken with the ad. That's the simple things we can do. But we do not like it. We make enough money. True, I mean, we keep things running, we are growing at the rate we want.
