You really think building one of the biggest companies in the world, with billions of users, is just one success?

Building a company with 1000 users is a success. A million is another success. A billion is hundreds of successes.

After a point, that success tends to build on itself. Positive returns to scale, network effects, monopoly influence, corruption, strong-arm tactics.

I'd argue the 1st million users is much harder than the 3rd billion.

In the sense of the point I'm addressing, yes. "Zuck is pretty successful at things he wants to do." Facebook is a thing he wanted to do. It was a success. (And a big one, but just because an elephant is very large for an animal means that it counts as 3 animals.) I just want to know what the other things are.

- Einstein was a pretty successful physicist.

- Well, I wouldn't say that... what else did he do other than relativity?

[wpietri]

Scroll up. I didn't say Zuckerberg wasn't successful. Indeed, I've been quite clear that Facebook was one very big success.

And for what it's worth, Einstein did a lot more than one thing. Off the top of my head, Einstein's annus mirabilis had 4 papers that were all major accomplishments, including the E=mc² equation popularly associated with him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annus_Mirabilis_papers

His work on relativity came later. As did a fair bit of other work, that I'm less familiar with but that I could easily look up and provide sources for.

And that's the kind of list I'm looking for here. People have claimed that he has other successes. I'm asking what they are. I've now given you the kind of list I wanted for Einstein, and I've given it elsewhere in this discussion for Steve Jobs. So will you give me that list for Zuckerberg? Because as far as I know it has one thing on it: Facebook.
