Mark Zuckerberg Pays Tribute to Steve Jobs
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has posted a message paying tribute to late Apple founder Steve Jobs. Writing on his Facebook profile, Zuckerberg wrote, “Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you.”
The post, which went up around 8:30 p.m. ET, has already been liked some 85,000 times by Zuckerberg’s more than 6 million Facebook subscribers.
Although Apple and Facebook have had a contentious relationship, it’s hard not to draw comparisons between Jobs and Zuckerberg, both of whom dropped out of college and founded their iconic companies in their early twenties.
Meanwhile, Facebook’s f8 conferences have become a platform for Zuckerberg to take center stage and share his company’s latest innovations, much in the way Jobs captured the eyeballs of tech watchers everywhere with his iconic keynotes.
