looks beautiful

This movie about Facebook's entrepreneurial journey is very well made. It is basically true to the facts and takes into account the drama, which is very topical. It's a pity that Kazaberg was hiding in the bathroom and crying when he later learned that the company was valued at $500 million.

Because I just finished reading the book "Facebook Effect" before watching this film, many details can be matched, so I am deeply impressed.

I remember that when I was in college many years ago, I also coded a web version of BBS by myself, and used the server of the student association to open a network service in Beiyou. Since the mainstream BBS in Beiyou University at that time was still logging in via telnet, this new web version of BBS got more than 120 independent IP registrations within 8 hours, which made me ecstatic for a time. Unfortunately, only 8 hours later, I received an instruction from the secretary of the school's Youth League Committee to seal up the BBS. The reason was that without approval, students were not allowed to set up a BBS website privately, even in the name of a club. After a long time, the school officially launched the Web version of the Beiyouren BBS forum, and the BBS of revealing true feelings gradually faded away and became a legend since then.

So, this is the difference between China and the United States in terms of young people's Internet entrepreneurship. Whether it is Facebook, Linux, Microsoft, etc., although it looks beautiful, it is a virtual model far away from the ocean, and it is difficult to replicate in the vast and deep Central Plains.

Only to be remembered.

The Social Network quotes

  • Erica Albright: Is it true that they send a bus around to pick up girls who want to party with the next Fed chairman?

    Mark Zuckerberg: So you can see why it's so important to get in.

    Erica Albright: Okay, well, which is the easiest to get into?

    Mark Zuckerberg: [pauses, taken aback] Why would you ask me that?

    Erica Albright: I was just asking.

    Mark Zuckerberg: None of them. That's the point. My friend Eduardo made $300,000 betting oil futures one summer, and Eduardo won't come close to getting in. The ability to make money doesn't impress anybody around here.

  • Erica Albright: Well, why don't you just concentrate on being the best you you can be.

    Mark Zuckerberg: Did you really just say that?

    Erica Albright: I was kidding. Although just because something's trite doesn't make it any less true.

    Mark Zuckerberg: I want to try to be straightforward with you and tell you I think you might want to be a little more supportive. If I get in I will be taking you to the events, and the gatherings, and you'll be meeting a lot of people you wouldn't normally get to meet.

    Erica Albright: [Erica stares at Mark for a moment, then smiles] You would do that for me?

    Mark Zuckerberg: [Shrugs] We're dating.

    Erica Albright: Okay. Well I want to be straightforward with you and let you know that we're not anymore.

    Mark Zuckerberg: What do you mean?

    Erica Albright: We're not dating anymore, I'm sorry.

    Mark Zuckerberg: Is this a joke?

    Erica Albright: No, it's not.

    Mark Zuckerberg: You're breaking up with me?

    Erica Albright: You're going to introduce me to people I wouldn't normally have the chance to to meet? What the f... what is that supposed to mean?

    Mark Zuckerberg: Wait. Settle down...

    Erica Albright: What is it supposed to mean?

    Mark Zuckerberg: Erica, the reason we're able to sit here and drink right now is because you used to sleep with the door guy.

    Erica Albright: The door guy? His name is Bobby. I have not slept with the door guy. The door guy is a friend of mine, and he is a perfectly good class of people. And what part of Long Island are you from, Wimbledon?
