Steve Jobs did not engage in social networks because Zuckerberg did very well

Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs biography revealed that the Apple founder did not get involved in projects of social networks, because Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook did it very well.

In a discussion with several people in the field, Isaacson revealed that asking Steve Jobs - the outstanding person in Silicon Valley he comes first to mind? The answer was Mark Zuckerberg. On the other hand, Steve Jobs is an idol for Mark, he repeatedly said that he learned a lot from Apple founder.

Walter Isaacson claims that Jobs' admiration for the founder of Facebook comes from because of intuitive sense with whom Zuckerberg knew how to develop the social network.


In the past Apple has been involved in building Ping social network, but abandoned the project in favor of Facebook and Twitter, Jobs announced then that Facebook is so good that the world does not need other social networks.

As the two geniuses, they had a single problem - exchange transactions. When Apple came into the hands of the shareholders in the early 80s, Steve Jobs was forced to leave his company, coming back in 1996 only to rise the company at the current level. Facebook has made the first exit on the stock market this year, the event is called failure of the year after the shares fell from a baseline of $ 42 to $ 28, causing huge losses to players and investment funds.
