"Life - don't talk to me about life...

Why would I comment on the fb boss who, not yet 30 years old, finds himself one of the richest men in the world?

Well I do have the right, as I have a fb page, and therefore, in Mr Zs words, I have made this amazing thing happen.

I don't claim very much of the credit for making him super rich, as my fb is pretty much by default. I didn't create it, I don't understand it, and I rarely use it.

There can't be too many fb users with less understanding or commitment than me, but with the millions of users claimed those few might total a million.

And as the price of the fb shares, and consequently Mr Zs colossal wealth, is based largely on how many users he delivers to his advertisers it might be that the price paid, in this initial burst of enthusiasm, will prove a bit excessive.

c'est la vie and time will tell.

Forgetting the matter of money for the moment, in a way I feel a bit sorry for Mr Z. Still in his 20s and this is likely the high point of his life.
