Zuckerberg: “When I was coding Facebook there was no question in my mind like what I was going to build for. It was, you’re clearly going to build for the web. I’m not going to build software and I’m not going to build for a phone. … And that clarity was so valuable whereas today it’s like, okay, we want to go build an app. Even a new product that we launch. – It’s kind of a disaster right now. I really hope that the direction that this stuff goes in is one where there’s more of a standard.”
RWW: “That standard is HTML5, which Facebook plans to push very hard. If HTML5 can deliever a wide range of functions with a good user experience, then Facebook can develop one HTML5 version for every new product it launches and ‘that would be awesome,’ Zuckerberg said. And HTML5 could combate the problem of unfair access raised by the great App Migration. – Already Facebook has launched a special mobile site for people in developing countries (and some developed ones). 0.facebook lets users access a speedy, data charge-free version of Facebook with a mobile browser from any basic phone even in parts of the world with poor infrastructure. – Until the devices that people use to access the internet are completely standardized, the Web will never die.“
