Mark Zuckerberg Says Inspiration for Facebook Was Psalm 139:1-4
Inspiration for the design of Facebook came from Psalm 139:1-4, the company's founder Mark Zuckerberg said in a Sunday interview.
"When I read Psalm 139:1-4," Zuckerberg told reporter April Wan, "something just [mouse] clicked."
"I saw a heavenly glow and heard the voices of angels," he continued, "assuming angels sound like the hum of a billion servers and a heavenly glow looks like a backlit keyboard."
...
"When I opened the Bible and saw Psalm 139, I thought, 'wow, what a great business model.' I knew I wanted to build a company like that."
Psalm 139:1-4 reads:
You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
