Mark Zuckerberg Says Facebook Still Has Room To Grow On 10th Anniversary

Facebook turns 10 years-old, and its CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg thinks the social network still has room to grow.

In an interview with the TODAY show, the 29-year-old talked about his plans for the future and shared some of his secrets as a user of his favorite social media site.

“I’ve spent a lot of late nights pacing around my living room with teammates just trying to plot out what our next move can be in order to keep pushing forward on this mission. But one of the big things that I’ve taken away from the last 10 years is, there’s always a next move and you just need to keep on pushing forward and keep on doing the best thing that you can.”

Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook as an experiment in a dorm room at Harvard University in 2004 — ten years later, the company is one of the most used in the world of online communications and became publicly traded in 2013, reaching 1 billion active users in 2012.

On his own Facebook page, Zuckerberg reflected on the past years and the successes his innovations have seen and penned and open letter to mark the anniversary.

Even though some believe that Facebook is losing the younger generation, who is favoring simpler, more straight forward sharing sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Snapchat, and hoards of others who seem to pop out of everywhere, a recent study say it is not so.

Contrary to the reports of lost users a Pew Research Center Survey indicates 73 percent of people between 12 and 17-years of age still favor the social site and actively use it, as do 57 percent of adults surveyed.

So what does Mark Zuckerberg share on his Facebook page?

Just like any regular person using the network, its founder posts a lot of photos of his favorite pooch, Beast.

To celebrate the big anniversary, Facebook created a one-minute video for each of its users, chronicling their most well-received posts. The “Look Back” feature was expected to hit pages on Tuesday. Do you have one?

Many things have happened with Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook in the last 10-years and the company is evolving and adapting to the change in users preferences.

In his message to users for the important milestone, Zuckerberg says:

“While some doubted that connecting the world was actually important, we were building. While others doubted that this would be sustainable, you were forming lasting connections.

“We just cared more about connecting the world than anyone else. And we still do today.”

Some may debate the last point, as there is also Twitter to consider in how people connect, even if Pew says Facebook is still a favorite of adults and used by the majority of teens.

Mark Zuckerberg is ready for the next 10-years and beyond for his Facebook. So far in 2014, the company closed at its highest trading price of $66.60 on January 30.
