Started by being questioned by a roommate. Ended with being questioned by the US Senate

Interview was taking in June of 2005.

2005 - "so" 2016 - "I Want to connect the world"

i love how he's always been out here harvesting personal information lol

Facebook wasn't exactly a revolutionary idea. There had been several iterations of online social networks previous to its release. FB's execution, however, is what made it successful.

Anyone notice how much more normal and socially at ease he was back then?

Seriously though, this interview is an amazing insight into the early days of facebook.

He's actually not as awkward here as he normally is

Interesting to see how in the beginning he was focused on making the product better for its core users and wasn't interested in dominating the world. Nowadays, with the Metaverse his strategy seems to be the exact opposite of what made the company successful in the first place.

I dig how you fast forward and see how he’s clarified his vision around connectedness, while also expanding the scope. I was pleasantly surprised. Great piece of history.

When I signed up for facebook in 6th and 7th grade I made sure even on VACATION I remember signing onto the Cafe and feeling the adrenaline rush of having friend requests from hot girls accepted

Confirmed: He was 100% replaced by a reptile.

Watch a Barefoot Mark Zuckerberg Pitch ‘The Facebook’ in 2005

Anyone know when this interview was taken? Probably sometime in 2005? Also it's interesting how it was intended to just be a facilitator for in-person connection when now its main goal is to get people to stay on the site for as long as possible.

this entire 4min49sec bit, from the Columbus intro, to Mark chill asnwering questions with a beer in his hand, while people in the back jugg on beers doing a handstand, is history

"There doesn't necessarily have to be more..."

I like how mark Zuckerberg says 'like' a lot.

He was clear on what Facebook was back then..a source to get everyone's info for schools, businesses, etc. That's all it is now.. Just a way to get your info.

I love how people who don't really want to become word famous and rich and just focusing on making a good product are the most successful ones!

When he was still human

"The Niña, The San Jose and The Palo Alto" XD

So the facebook I mean its like a directory to connect like the college students who like uhm like to hang out so I mean it allows people to keep themselves like kinda updated with each other's life

@MillightKoles This is true but it makes it easier. Faces, locations, your school, family members...it's like an entire life connection of people

"where are you taking facebook at this point?" "i mean there doesn't necessarily has to be more." oh no young mark, there can be more

"People just....didn't want to put out their information"

such an underrated video , dope post !

when was this video taken? I know it was uploaded in 2010 but this seems like when Facebook first started.

So uhm like... Now you all know why they introduced like button on Facebook.

Casting Couch

Damn, Zuckerberg seems pretty chill haha

There's so much to impact from this video. Super intriguing as I'm always fascinated by how luck and chance plays a role in the success of certain companies. Zuck stating that "there's no need for more" clearly shows he didn't have billion dollar dreams. Insert the right people and he's top 3 richest person in the world. Incredible footage.

When exactly was this interview?

Awesome footage good to see some of your point of views Mark.

@lacquersound we thought this was common enough knowledge to make a joke about the ships being called other cities in the San Francisco metropolitan area but thank you.

Where can I watch the full doc?

Thanks for this

This would work perfectly as humanity's epilogue after Facebook causes the end times.

What's the date of this interview? It's pretty cool seeing how informal he as he talks about the potential growth and focus of Facebook.

@mrsSatan013 nope, Google+ is in other tab :D

I started using Facebook in 2011 and stopped in 2015.

It's cool that he didn't really set out to take over the world even though he ended up doing just that

when was the interwiew done ?

he kinda looks like my graphic design teacher

I love the 12FPS effect

Haha... He still calls it "The Facebook"

This was before aliens replaced him with a robot

if u pick random points to skp to during the video, everytime u click to move itll start with zuckerburg saying "so"......

The content is a cut above the rest. Keep setting the bar high!

Mark used to sound like he went to laguna beach high

when was this interview?

Hey he doesn't seem like a robot here

you missed "I mean", "you know I mean" like and stuff ... cool

The artwork on the walls was done by David Choe.

Very cool interview. I think it's obvious from this that Mark in real life is not at all like Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal in "The Social Network".

Well, yes it is off at lots of stuff, but the general story is there.

It's interesting he refers to 'the facebook' which is the name of the company in the current lawsuit.

@PSdissenter We were joking around but thank you for reminding us of that fact.

christopher columbus sailed the nina punta and santa maria youve listed new ones on me!

wow 12 years ago

the guy in the first scene was pretty funny. Very anchorman influenced.

Is that the David Choe art work that made him a gazzilionaire?

You can see Eduardo saverin in the back

Before MK Ultra

@ComradeLeonTrotsky Do you mean the interviewer or Zuckerberg?

His answer to the last question really aged like fine wine

Where are Eduardo and Sean?

HAHA That's totally Dustin Malkovitz doing a keg stand! Never though I'd see the day a billionaire did a keg stand :P

Nobody really records when they are at Harvard. I wonder why. I may be going to take a class this year. Also have a KZfaq channel that is growing and would love to show my fans. Is it not permitted?

is there someone who can add a comment here, to subtitle what is said in video? Thanks for foreigners who does not speak english very well.

Did this go on 2 b a thing?

Todays episode of: Before They Were a Robot

And then what.... I don't know... TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

1:25 “when WE originally got started started at facebook… it was ummm just me” lol 🙄

An online directory easy as that

when was this actually...

@03August1991 no i studied Canadian history.Regardless they used arrows when Europeans used gunpowder.

i just want it to be recognized, the AI captions pick up every single word Mark Zuckerberg says perfectly, every single random word and "uh".

And a wild Dustin Moskovitz appears to do a keg stand. Incredible

Luck definitely played its part in the success of #facebook . Mark Zuckerberg's interview from 2005.

It’s crazy seeing David choe art on the walls, he was paid in Facebook stocks and made hundreds of millions of dollars from those murals

Will there be a Facebook 2?

It's much easier for them now. People on Facebook update what they're doing every couple of hours and even update their location.

jeeps that valley accent is something else

"Really cool college directory product" - Facebook back then.

That was before he passed away in a terrible accident and Facebook replaced him with a bot.

at 1:23 it seems to me that he hesitates to name Eduardo Saverin. In the end, he doesn't...

I think this video is the reason why KZfaq canceled dislikes count

It's ridiculous how much he changed.

Mark Zuckerberg is actually Nelson Bighetti.

Who else thought this was about a job interview?

Is there a place where I can watch now entering a millennial generation? I was looking all over the net and I can't seem to find it. It seems interesting. Some one please help!

This is a video of back when he was human.

this is cool! when was this interview?

“I built this to receive as much info about your life for the gov” that’s all it is.

What about web 3

inventors/ creators aren't usually businessmen.. vise versa. it takes a team effort to turn an idea into a gold mine

Who knew that he will be Matrix Agent one day

Who is the person that is conducting this interview?
