Mark Zuckerberg Quotes

I share more than most people probably do online.

Only my phone number and email are private because I don't want random people calling me. But I like the ability to share everything.

More and more, the things we do in real life will end up as Facebook posts. And while we may be consoled by the fact that most of this stuff is being posted just to our friends, it only takes one friend to share that information with his or her friends to start a viral chain.

Never post anything personal to your Facebook wall. Or anyone else's, for that matter. Only snitches and teachers look at Facebook.

When I'm on a plane, people know where I'm going before I even know where I'm going. People know where you had lunch yesterday, or who you had lunch with. So, trying to avoid sharing everything with everyone is my way of keeping something private in my life.

Do we value privacy in any real way? Thinking about blogs, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace... all these suggest we value exposure rather more. And instead of challenging this transformation, as they are supposed to - certainly at the more thoughtful edges of the art - novelists are buying into it wholesale.

I have to say, I worry about Twitter. Not that it will survive - they don't need my blessing for that - but that it will stay the kind of open, community-enhancing-and-enabling site that made it flourish at the outset.

I don't know what's hipper: to Facebook or to Twitter. I just know for me, personally, discretion never went out of style.

Just mention the idea of warrantless wiretaps and expect to get hit up with a congressional investigation. But give somebody an avatar and a URL, and he can't tweet, post or hyperlink enough personal information about himself to as many people as possible.

When I first heard about Twittering, I thought it was the most disgusting thing I'd ever heard of in my life. It's like the devil: the idea that your personal life is there for everybody.

Google is omniscient of what people search for and do. Facebook has over a billion subscribers, meaning Mark Zuckerberg has personal information about one in every seven people on Earth. U.S.A., Brazil, Mexico, India and Indonesia are at the top of that list.

It's just madness. First email. Then instant message. Then MySpace. Then Facebook. Then LinkedIn. Then Twitter. It's not enough anymore to 'Just do it.' Now we have to tell everyone we are doing it, when we are doing it, where we are doing it and why we are doing it.

I don't do Twitter because I don't want to talk about myself more than I already have to.

This social-networking thing takes you to crazy places.

I've grown up knowing that you put as much of your private life out there as you feel comfortable with.

I would rather Google other people than Google myself.

Even when Facebook came out, and I was in college, I found myself never putting anything on it.

I think there are pros and cons to social networking, but on a social, personal level, it's just not for me.

Most people want the convenience of the Internet far more than they want the private spaces that older forms of communication protected.

I don't do much on social media. I don't really want people knowing about my life.

I don't Tweet or Twat. I'm not on Instagram or Facebook.

The only thing I worry about over-sharing is boring people.

The fact that oversharing exists at all as a noteworthy notion is a relief, because I'm afraid that our younger generations could grow up having no idea what it even means to overshare.

Even though I have Twitter, I only use it to say, 'Oh, this is coming out.' I would never voice anything about me, really.

Everything I know about Facebook makes me want to avoid it. Twitter has really improved my reading habits.
