What is your vision for Facebook?
你對臉譜網的展望是什么?
When I started Facebook from my dorm room in 2004,the idea that my roommates and I talked about all the time was a world that was more open.
當我于2004年在自己的宿舍推出臉譜網時,我和我的室友談及的理念一直是建立一個更為開放的世界。
We believed that people being able to share the information they wanted and having access to the information they wanted is just a better world:
我們認為,人們可以按照自己的想法共享或訪問信息,那將是個更為完美 的世界。
People can connect better with the people around them, understand more of what’s going on with the people around them, and understand more in general.
在這個世界里,人們可以更好 地與周圍的人聯系、更多地了解周圍的人、更多地了解一切。
Also, openness fundamentally affects a lot of the core institutions in society—the media, the economy, how people relate to the government and just their leadership.
同時,開放性從根本上影響了社會中的許多核心體系, 包括媒體、經濟、人們與政府如何聯系 等等。
We thought that stuff was really interesting to pursue. I think it turns out that the best way to do that is to build a company and an organization.
我們認為這些都是確實值得去追求的方向。我認為實現上述目標的最佳方式是創建一家公司和一個組織
We’ve learned a lot along the way about how to do that.
我們在這個過程中學習到了許多如何去做的東西
One of the things we learned was that there were two ways to get to this place of more information access.
其中一件是,有兩種方式可以獲得更多信息
There was the top-down way, right—you can kind of characterize that by the Google,or search approach— where you have a bunch of machines and algorithms going out and crawling the web and bringing information into them.
其中之一是自上而下的方式,即通過谷歌或搜索的方法,這需要大量的設備和運算,到處檢索網頁并將信息帶給用戶。
But we figured that over time that wouldn’t actually be the best approach.We figured it wouldn’t get the most information.
但久而久之我們發現這實際上并非最佳方法,因為該方法并不能獲得最大的信息量.
It would only get stuff that was publicly available to everyone, and it wouldn’t give people the control that they needed to be really be comfortable.
這只能提供每個人都可以看到的公開內容,并不會為用戶提供能為之感到愉悅的所需信息的控制權
No one wants to live in a surveillance society, which, if you take that to its extreme, could be where that’s going.
因為沒有人希望生活在一個處于監督下的社會中。而如果將其發揮到極致,就會走入這樣一個社會。
And there’s (Facebook) where people choose to share all this information themselves.
而臉譜網則可以讓用戶選擇共享所有此類信息
