'And while this may sound hubristic, it reflects Zuckerberg’s belief that Facebook’s map of human relationships is among the most important developments in business history. “That, I think, is the strongest product element we have,” he said. “And [most] likely one of the strongest product elements that ever has existed."'

I've been coming to grips with that statement being true.

I don't know if Zuckerberg also implied this but what I find truly awesome is that that map of human relationships is available to anyone now through Facebook. Zynga is just one example of a business that has used the social graph so well. There will be more.

Indeed, a remarkable statement. Let us have some perspective, shall we. Literature is, if at all anything is, the collective mapping of human relationship (and an incomplete one at that). A shopkeeper like Zuckerberg (he sells ads) is not Shakespeare.
