Naive? Zuckerberg's Registration Statement to the SEC

"We don't build services to make money, we make money to build better services." You'd wipe away a tear reading that if it weren't Zuckerberg explaining his personal philosophy in the official Registration Statement to the SEC on the eve of the Facebook IPO. His future shareholders are going to looooove that. Going public not to make money but to make the world a better place, help people create relationships, connect to each other and fulfilling a social mission. But I'm probably too cynical: if you want to change the world, you'd best do it from within the establishment. What better place to undermine boundless capitalism than from inside the NYSE? What better place to launch social entrepreneurism? Go, Mark, Go. And if you do end up earning money, do a Bill Gates.
