Facebook: 'Why Blue is the Dominant Color'

Do you know why?

See the founder of Facebook and think again why.

On Zuckerberg's Facebook page, he listed his personal interests as "openness, making things that help people connect and share what's important to them, revolutions, information flow, minimalism".  Zuckerberg sees blue best because of red–green colorblindness; blue is also Facebook's dominant color.

Mark Zuckerberg Was Coached By Apple Co-Founder Steve Jobs

In many ways they are extremely similar, but the news that Steve Jobs coached Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg still comes as a surprise, with the revelation coming as the Zuck was interviewed for a TV show by Charlie Rose.

Zuckerberg, ranked number 14 on the Forbes Rich List, tells how the late Steve Jobs helped him build Facebook, and even told him how to find the best people to help him take the social network from a little-known college network, to the biggest online community ever built.

Jobs and Facebook haven’t always seen eye-to-eye, with Apple being forced to pull Facebook integration from its Ping music network after the social network blocked access to it due to a wrangle over money. Facebook wanted money from Apple in return to access to its APIs, but Apple, or rather Steve Jobs, wasn’t willing to pay up.

Both Jobs and Zuckerberg have many traits in common, not least the ability to build a successful company while managing to upset those around them – Jobs famously took no prisoners when building Apple to be the force that it is today, and the way Zuckerberg made Facebook into the success story it is today has been one of the most eventful in tech history. Zuckerberg has been sued by numerous people, all claiming to be at least partly responsible for the creation of Facebook.

The fact that Jobs apparently helped Zuckerberg along the way makes you wonder who else he took a shine to. One thing is for sure, and that is the fact that Steve Jobs would not offer his ear to just anyone, and a quick glance around Silicon Valley shows that there are more than a few talented CEOs in the technology industry.

It appears that the reach of Jobs may have been further than we ever imagined.

Mark Zuckerberg voted 9th most powerful in the world

The question, then, is just how much people ought to be shivering at the idea that Forbes has declared Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg the ninth most powerful person in the world.
Yes, it seems there are only eight people alive who can stop him in his quest to control precisely everything.

Who, of those eight, might be prepared to do it? At No. 1 is President Barack Obama. But he seems pleasantly disposed to Zuckerberg. They've even had dinner together.

This merely leaves Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Hu Jintao, Germany's Angela Merkel, Bill Gates, the King of Saudi Arabia, the Pope, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

Some might have imagined that Bill Gates would still be competitive enough to halt the lone fellow techie in the top 10. Then they might remember that Microsoft has money in Facebook.
