following Buqiehaite accept the What factors made you decide to leave from Facebook and join YCombinator?
A: I personally think that the early stages of any company's business experience the most exciting. Actions of the early stages of start-up companies, these companies will bring long-term follow-up development impact. Either Google or Facebook, the reason why these technology company later took a different development path, because some of their basic philosophy has been established long ago, but the middle is also extremely difficult to make changes again. Technology company's corporate culture, and actually started the founder's philosophy and early employees. From this perspective, if you are interested in the evolution of corporate culture, it should be traced back to the company was founded, right? Imagine if you are a journalist, then Google or Facebook just two or three employees, you can easily direct interviews with company founder. For me personally, to join YCombinator, I was only able to staff the size of two, three start-ups have a better understanding.
Q: Google is about competition with Facebook reports described at great length. Such reports are a bit exaggerated?
A: Google and the outside world that the interest in the competition between Facebook, because Facebook is now in high-growth period, on the other hand, Google also want to improve their In the social networking business strength. Thus, the two companies will inevitably be competition, so that their plans to release the first to launch a service by the other.
current rapid growth of Google when the search business, Microsoft is not given high priority. Microsoft is probably the attitude was: search is very easy to imagine, but underestimated the difficulty of the development of search services. To some extent, the social networking business, Google is a bit like the current status of the year for Microsoft. But then underestimate Microsoft's search business is different, Google has realized two things: First, social networking is very important, and second, to make the business is not an easy task.
Q: Why is Google's corporate culture with Facebook will be among the big difference?
A: Google's corporate culture and Facebook different, mainly due to the market or the idea of the founder of two companies is different. Personally, I think, to a good understanding of Google or Facebook, we should first recognize that the two are currently still driven by the founders of technology companies.
Q: So the two co-founders of Google Larry Page (LarryPage), Sergey Brin (SergeyBrin) with Facebook founder 马克扎克伯cell (MarkZuckerberg) What's the difference between?
A: My personal view is that, relatively speaking, the two founders of Google even stronger sense of some of the invention. Of course I do not mean Facebook founders did not invent the consciousness. But if you carefully look at Google is engaged in the development of products, you will find that inventions are everywhere. The outside world is concerned, Google is the product consistent with its overall strategy? However, Google seems to have had the opportunity to develop all new products and services, is in itself a good thing.
