“Our goal is to change the world. The needs of the platform mean growing bigger. At some point going public may make the most sense,” he said.

Zuckerberg said the creation of Facebook boiled down to a Harvard University student with hacker tendencies starting a company with smart friends.

“By the time I got around to building Facebook, I did it in two weeks,” Zuckerberg said. “Launch early and iterate; Facebook is a really good story of that.”

The evolution of Facebook has been driven by what members of the online social networking community do at the Web site and their feedback, Zuckerberg said.

“We pride ourselves on building stuff quickly,” Zuckerberg said. “We have this technology company that is really like a hacker company. My friends are people who really like building cool stuff.”
