Zuckerberg: Most of Facebook Will Be Video Within Five Years

Posted by Soulskill on from the will-deliver-electric-shock-if-you-look-away dept.

jfruh writes: Facebook recently held its first ever town-hall meeting in which Mark Zuckerberg took questions from the general public, and one of his answers might raise some eyebrows. When asked if the increasing numbers of photos being uploaded might strain the company's servers, he said the infrastructure is more than up to the task, because they're preparing for the notion that "in five years, most of [Facebook] will be video."

    Zuckerburg is looking to kill youtube.

    Unfortunately, Google's own social network beat them to the punch.

    On the advice of Slashdot I've been shorting FaceBook stock since the IPO. I am now homeless due to the crippling losses, but I'll keep it up. Slashdot has never steered me wrong!

    Who the fuck has the time to look through 100 FB stories a day???

    the average person will only look at about 100 a day

    Nobody; they look at the headlines and then add 100 comments, just like here on slashdot.
