扎克伯格和Facebook的這些年
2007年 ??? Facebook平臺發布,支持第三方在平臺上開發應用。當時,扎克伯格在接受《財富》雜志(Fortune)采訪時表示:“我們希望將Facebook設計成某種操作系統,用戶可以在上面運行各種各樣的應用程序。”同一年,公司推出了頗具爭議的廣告系統燈塔(Beacon),但因在合作伙伴網站上公布用戶的活動而飽受爭議,最終被迫關閉。截至當年5月份用戶人數:超過2,400萬。 2008年 ??? 一月份,Facebook與美國廣播公司(ABC)新聞頻道共同贊助總統大選辯論,同一年,啟動即時通信服務Facebook Chat。 2009年 |
2007 ??? The Facebook Platform launches, allowing third parties to develop on top of it. "We want to make Facebook into something of an operating system so you can run full applications," Zuckerberg told Fortune at the time. The failed ad system Beacon launches and gets flack for publishing users' activities on partnered sites. Number of users as of May: over 24 million. 2008 ??? Facebook co-sponsors the Presidential Debates with ABC News that January, and Facebook Chat -- an instant messenger for the social set -- goes live. 2009 |
??? 扎克伯格以約5,000萬美元的價格收購在線社交聚合網站FriendFeed,并測試Facebook的精簡版本——“Facebook Lite”。截至年底,Facebook活躍用戶超過了3.5億。 2010年 ??? 這一年,在AllThingsD的D8大會上,因為網站的隱私問題,扎克伯格被追問得滿頭大汗,甚至脫掉了他標志性的連帽T恤衫。他還向紐瓦克公立學校系統(Newark public school system)捐贈1億美元。同年,電影《社交媒體》(The Social Network)首映。電影追溯了Facebook的草創時期,雖然情節并不一定準確,但還是引人入勝,并獲得了人們的贊賞。當年用戶人數:超過5億。 2011年 ??? 2011年的Facebook f8開發者大會上,“周六夜現場”(Saturday Night Live)喜劇演員安迪?薩姆伯格助興,模仿扎克伯格。歲后,扎克伯格推出了全新改版的時間線(Timeline)。同年,《財富》雜志報道,扎克伯格只吃“自己宰殺的動物肉類”,之后扎克伯格屢屢因此登上媒體頭條。 2012年 ??? 扎克伯格推動Facebook完成了史上規模最大的一筆收購:以10億美元收購了人氣火爆的照片分享移動應用Instagram。當然,Facebook今年最大的事情莫過于正式上市。 翻譯/審校:阿龍/汪皓 |
??? Zuckerberg pays nearly $50 million to buy FriendFeed, an online activity aggregator, and also tests out "Facebook Lite," a leaner version of the social network. By the end of the year, Facebook has 350 million-plus active users. 2010 ??? Zuckerberg sweats it out onstage over privacy questions at AllThingsD's D8 conference, so much so that he takes off his trademark hooded sweatshirt. He also donates $100 million to the Newark Public School System. "The Social Network" premieres, racking accolades with its compelling, if not-so-accurate depiction, of Facebook's humble beginings. Number of users: over 500 million. 2011 ??? Saturday Night Live comedian Andy Samberg impersonates Zuckerberg onstage at Facebook's f8 conference before the CEO introduces a radical Profile redesign called Timeline. Zuckerberg also makes headlines when Fortune reports he aimed to eat "only what he kills." 2012 Zuckerberg negotiates Facebook's largest acquisition yet: the $1 billion purchase of popular photo-sharing mobile app Instagram. Oh yeah, the social network also goes public. |
