@EinsteinsAttic@twitter.com @murakamiwood@twitter.com @StevenLevy@twitter.com @Facebook@twitter.com "Another early Facebook employee confirms this, also saying that Facebook brainstormed Zuckerberg's idea of allowing people to create and edit dark profiles of friends, Wikipedia-style, but it was not executed."
Just the fact that he explored this crazy idea says enough.

Well, well, well. Though he destroyed most of his journals "for #privacy reasons", it appears a few pages of #Zuckerberg's early plans for world domination survived.

Fascinating preview by @StevenLevy@twitter.com of his book on @Facebook@twitter.com, coming out later this month:

@EinsteinsAttic@twitter.com @murakamiwood@twitter.com @StevenLevy@twitter.com @Facebook@twitter.com "He took three pages to lay out a vision for something he called “Dark Profiles.” These would be Facebook pages for people who, whether by omission or intention, had not signed up for Facebook. "
So reassuring. Growth was always the thing, wasn't it?

@webmink@twitter.com @richardfontana@twitter.com @_msw_@twitter.com @lifeext@twitter.com @opensourceway@twitter.com @BrucePerens@twitter.com @OReillyMedia@twitter.com @esrtweet@twitter.com My main conclusion so far:

- The reality is much more nuanced than what I had in mind.
- Different individuals had different agendas and different world views.
- It seems more like things coalesced after the fact rather than were initially planned.

It's not listed in the post, but we're also using React to create the UIs for our new features. We've got an interesting mix of legacy code at the verge of some major rearchitecture, and new features as a testing ground for figuring out what we want those new patterns to be.

The EU has voted very strongly in favour of giving Spain a veto over any future EU deal between the UK and the EU over Gibraltar.

Boy, I'm loving all this taking back of control...
