Facebook's success was partly due to its high trust and real identity, which was established by starting in colleges where users felt safe sharing personal information.

Facebook's success stemmed from its emphasis on real identity and the ability for users to share their content, which was missing from other platforms at the time.

In the early days of Facebook, we established a culture of real identity by requiring users to sign up with their school email addresses, which helped verify their credentials and fostered trust within the community.

When I joined Google, I believed in its mission to provide the world with information, and at Facebook, I saw the potential for real identity on the Internet.

Facebook was a strong name because it focused on real identities, while MySpace's name suggested a more fictional narrative, leading to its decline.

I realized that before Facebook, the internet had a lot of information but lacked a focus on real identity and connections between people.

Facebook's success was due to secure connections and ensuring that new users had at least 20 friends on the platform, which made it more engaging.

We initially included detailed profiles on Facebook, such as dorms and courses, to create a college-specific environment that fostered a sense of community and trust among users.

Our early debate about the quality of data on Facebook led us to prioritize clean and accurate information, which helped establish a reliable platform that users could trust.
