She called "Facebook for Good: Share your story." Translated: the winner will know who better to pay tribute to people who have used Facebook in order to contribute to a more open and connected. But the young Mark (sneakers, jeans, t-shirt and sweater with zip) speaks especially Facebook's next venture: says two words in the recipe that has made his creation, the defection of two of his collaborators in weight (and does through clenched teeth), talks about advertising, promises new locations of the site, denies plans to enter the Stock Exchange ("for now") and reveals to look forward to the social web in key business. Facebook for Good: condidivi your story. It 's the good side of social networks from 111 million active users (ie that you are logged in the last month): a prize of 1000 € to those who tell better, with the addition of photos, as Facebook has changed his life or has created a major social impact.

"I thought about this after the location in English - said Zuckerberg - when we had a growth sudden people in Colombia. Among these one has launched the "One Million Voices Against FARC" when Betancourt was still in their hands.
