Zuckerberg Receives Hoodie, Says Our Mission Isnt To Be A Public Company In Pre-IPO Remarks
Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg received a commemorative hoodie from the NASDAQ CEO Bob Greifeld and thanked his site's users in opening remarks recorded before he rang the NASDAQ opening bell this morning.In his short speech that just aired on Bloomberg TV which you can watch below, Zuckerberg said:"I just want to say a few things, and then we'll ring this bell and then we'll get back to work. Rightnow this all seems like a big deal. Going public is an important milestone in our history. But here's the thing: our mission isn't to be a public company. Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. In the past eight years, all of you out there have built the largest community in the history of the world. You've done amazing things that we never would have dreamed of and I can't wait to see what you're all going to do going forward.So on this special day, on behalf of everyone at Facebook, I just want to say to all the people out there who use Facebook and our products, thank you. So let's do this! [Rings Bell] This is an awesome moment. But remember, stay focused and keep shipping"Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/wGvrBssoOPw/
