Poole To Zuckerberg: You’re Doing It Wrong

An anonymous reader writes "At South by Southwest Interactive 2011 in Austin, Texas this week, 4chan founder Christopher Poole (also known as 'moot') took the stage to talk about various online issues. One of these was how important anonymity is on the Internet and how Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg doesn't get it."

Shame he'll not be able to hear how wrong he is through his insulating walls of billions of dollars. In fact it's surprising moot isn't aware of this issue given his similarly vast wealth.

How long until /. introduces image attachements for each reply ? :)

Thanks Mark. Now go fix your website. It's almost as lame as 4chan.

You sound too far in the middle. Are you from Neutropolis, the capital of Neutral Planet by chance?

Because, of course, billions make you right.

I'm wrong pretty often, despite my best efforts. I'd sure like billions to comfort me ;-)

Yeah, diaspora's really a resounding success, just look at their github: a handful of contributors actually working on the code (one of the more active ones recently appears to be someone who isn't even a member of the original "Diaspora" team), a steady downward trend on the pageviews graph, and no notable news since November's alpha testing started, other than a blog post at the end of January saying "We're still like, working on stuff, and we're still super-relevant, just look at these blogs that called us cool!"

With success like that, it's just a matter of weeks before Facebook is obsolete.

Have you ever tried to argue with a photo lab clerk?

OMG you're totally right. They just never let up about those bathtime pictures with the neighbor kids! It's like fighting with a brick wall and then they call the police.
