No-one can underestimate the global -and most probably long-lasting- impact of Facebook. 4 billion -with a b- monthly active users across Meta's family of apps -which includes Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. It's hard for the brain to grasp such numbers. The global population is around 8b. 3 billion -still with a b- daily active users! Can we imagine? It literally means 3 billion people log in and actively use at least one of these apps daily 🤯
Never in the entire history of humanity something -an institution, a company, a government- reached such penetration on a global scale. Now imagine, the company is only 20 years old.
So while I'd be quite reluctant to jump -and recommend- a 6+ hours podcast in general. I have to say that last episode on Meta by Acquired is quite incredible. For someone my age -still a student when the movie 'The Social Network' was released- this is the perfect follow up.
Let me add something complimentary here -which is also very interesting- Mark's interview with both Ben and David in Sept. this year.
I'd be curious to know further down the road the impact of both these podcasts on Meta's overall amount of job applications.
