Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg lied. It may not have been intentional, but at the end of the day, he lied.

Zuckerberg was the next big thing. The wunderkid. At age 29, he is worth some $25 billion. And he is selling out the very “next big thing” that made him who he is. Facebook has over a billion users, who have created over 54 million pages including more than 25 million small business pages.

He explained:

We make enough money. Right, I mean, we are keeping things running; we are growing at the rate we want to. (Wikipedia)
