Not sure what he is proud of? Twitter did NOTHING for a decade. That’s why they’re being acquired. Zuckerberg was right about his “clown car” comment.


>'Zuckerberg was right about his “clown car” comment.'

I was curious what this was because I don't think I've ever heard Zuckerberg say anything that was either remotely or intentionally funny:

Mark Zuckerberg: "Twitter is such as mess — it’s as if they drove a clown car into a gold mine and fell in."[1]

It's seems to be largely anecdotal but a funny comment none the less.

It’s appropriate for Facebook too.


Examples like Digg and MySpace should sufficiently show that iterating on a perfectly fine product is not necessarily a good idea. In fact, being able to stay cool and not steer into a ditch is definitely a rare skill.

As long as there are no follow-up questions...

SV hubris is its own thing.
