We can’t be in survival mode. We have to be in growth mode.

Technical Background or technical support for Facebook:
Many of the websites stated that Mark Zuckerberg wrote coding in PHP. The backend was lamp stack (LAMP-Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). The Facebook is built in PHP and compiled with HipHop. A source code transformer that was built by engineers was used to convert the PHP from C++. It used HBase to store the data across distributed machines.

Data are read from this log files using a Ptail which was the internally built tool, then the information are stored in Data centers. The backend is written in Java. The website has the backup plane using the MapReduce server. Then the facebook team created a new programming language that combined the elements of static type programming languages such as C, C++ with dynamic type languages such as PHP. The language was called as the HACK which has the deep roots in PHP.

On April 12, 2012 Facebook acquired instagram for US$1 Billion.
Finally the famous quotes of Successful man Mark Zuckerberg:
The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.
Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.
My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don’t care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that – building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.
Simply put: we don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services. And we think this is a good way to build something.
Facebook was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission – to make the world more open and connected.
When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.
