In 2008 at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco Mark Zuckerberg, founder and chief executive of Facebook, made the following statement in a conversation with John Batelle:

"Four years ago, when Facebook was getting started, most people didn’t want to put up any information about themselves on the Internet. Right? So, we got people through this really big hurdle of wanting to put up their full name, or real picture, mobile phone number …

"I would expect that, you know, next year, people will share twice as much information as they are this year. And then, the year after that, they’ll share twice as much information as they are next year …

"… as long as the stream of information is just constantly increasing, and we’re doing our job, and, and our, and our role, and kind of like pushing that forward, then I think that, you know, that’s, that’s just been the best strategy for us" (http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/the-zuckerberg-files-new-scholarly-archive-scrutinizes-facebook-ceo/47777?cid=wc&utm_source=wc&utm_medium=en, accessed 10-29-2013).
