That’s the difference between a Los Angeles company and a Silicon Valley company,” Mark says in The Facebook Effect.

In January 2006, then News Corp digital boss Ross Levinsohn flew Mark Zuckerberg and one of his top advisors, Matt Cohler, to Los Angeles.

Ross wanted to buy TheFacebook, but he worried it might not keep up its growth.

“That’s the difference between a Los Angeles company and a Silicon Valley company,” Mark says in The Facebook Effect, “We built this to last, and these guys [at MySpace] don’t have a clue.”

Just pre-ordered the book. Should be a good read.
