In his new interview with Mashable's Ben Parr, Mark says he’s interested to see what effect The Social Network has on entrepreneurship. He told Mashable that he gets “lots of messages” from people who claim that they have been very much inspired by what he’s done; some say he’s inspired them to go into computer science, others to start their own company.
He also talked about what effect he thought it would have on the company he’s built. He’s been asked a lot of questions about what exactly happened during Facebook’s early years, he said “We build products that 500 million people see… If 5 million people see a movie, it doesn’t really matter that much.”
In other words, the movie is a drop in the bucket compared to Facebook’s bigger ambitions to make the entire world more social. It seems like he’s stopped worrying about the potential impact of the movie on Facebook’s image and is focused on building and launching new products.
