Mark Zuckerberg: “I Committed Every Possible Mistake During My Early Days of Facebook”

At the Townhall Q&A
session at IIT-Delhi in India,
Facebook addressed many
questions asked by the students. Stressing
on the importance of controversial
Internet.org, he said that connecting India
is very important and fulfilling the aim to
connect the world isn't possible if we
ignore India.
One of the questions that intrigued Mark
Zuckerberg was related to his early days,
when he started Facebook. A girl from
IIT-Delhi asked Mark to share his life
incidents and decisions he took during the
early days at Facebook that he regrets
now.
Instead of talking about one single
incident or mistake, Mark said that when
we build things and take new paths, we
commit mistakes. Similarly, during his
Facebook journey, he has committed lost
of mistakes.
"Mistakes are part of professional life. I
have probably made every possible
mistake possible. You learn with trial and
error. You shouldn't be afraid to make
mistakes," he said.
He added, "More than avoiding mistakes,
it's important that if you do good things, it
should inspire you to do many great
things."
He said that he was inspired by his own
hard work and the idea to make
something that will connect the world.
Mark further added that starting a startup
isn't an easy task and you should do it if
you are passionate about something and
changing the world. He advised the
students to avoid thinking about some big
company when they are taking the
decision to start a startup.

Zuckerberg inspiring? Tell us in the

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for 50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of anything they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is the way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again.
