Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent an hour answering several questions during a public Q&A session, talking about his ordinary attire, decision to mandate separate app for messages and more.
On Thursday, the iconic Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stage for a little over an hour to answer several questions from the users of the world's largest social networking site. The young billionaire CEO spoke about various things, ranging from the reason behind his simple attire to things like the company's decision to make Messenger a mandatory download for sending and receiving messages.
Speaking about being seen in the same uniform always, which includes a grey T-shirt, a pair of jeans and flip flops, Zuckerberg jokingly said, "You'll be happy to know there are multiple of the same shirt." On a serious note, Zuckerberg feels it as one less task to cover on a daily basis, PCMag reported.
"I'm in this really lucky position where I get to wake up every day and help serve more than a billion people, and I feel like I'm not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things that are silly or frivolous about my life, so that way I can dedicate all of my energy towards just building the best products and services," he said.
Zuckerberg also opened about his personal opinion about the highly popular movie based on Facebook, The Social Network, which was released in 2010. The movie performed exceptionally well at the Box Office, but the man who was behind the creation of the world's biggest social networking site said that in real life the journey wasn't entirely glamorous.
"There were pretty glaring things that were just made up about the movie that made it pretty hard to take seriously," he said. "I think the real story is just a lot of hard work."
People also questioned the company's decision to force its users to download a separate app to send and receive messages within the site. Zuckerberg explained the move as a way to offer a better user-experience. He added that messaging is different from social networking so having separate apps made complete sense to deliver faster and efficient user experience.
