    So he can sell them ads. So his stock doesn't crash.

That doesn't sound like a good long-term goal. I'm talking 20+ years. What is he going to leave to this world when he's gone?

Hey - if he provides universal world internet and then drives Facebook into the ground, he can be a double-hero.

To be frank, I don't give two shits about how his name will be remembered in history. Somehow, Zuckerberg, Jobs and the rest of the technowizards don't sound to me like people worth remembering in the global sense of the verb. Probably has something to do with the fact that their practices and legacy are ambigious at best.

Also, when was the last time you've heard of Sergey Brin?

I'm sure they'll be remembered much in the way we remember guys like Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie, JP Morgan, etc. Big men with big influences that shaped our world for better or worse.

Maybe. Like I said, I don't care about those guys. Maybe I'm just feeling rebellious.
