Facebook: The Inside Story of Mark Zuckerberg and the Social Network's Fight for Survival | 
I could not login to Litsy for almost 3 days now due to the problems with Facebook. I just had to change a perfectly correct email address to the same email address just because Facebook has problems with other apps. I think I will change all my Facebook logins to other apps now. 🙈
Levy is losing steam at the end. His bizarre framing of PHP vs. native development had me gasping—THIS is the guy who wrote “Hackers“? Now he's grinding his gears on a facile debate about free speech and censorship. Damn, I wish I could read this with someone with my level of engagement with these issues!
Fascinating account. Also, as someone who started a social site in August 2005, and followed products and news closely, it's weirdly nostalgic.
Reading Levy's Facebook book, which includes a lot of Zuckerberg biography, it occurs to me that biography hasn't progressed much intellectually since antiquity. We do not see the young Alexander or Zuckerberg except as a crude mirror of the adult one. Success is assumed, and the effects of success on the progress of an individual are ignored. Even lay history couldn't get away with this today, but it's standard in biography.
