Max Levchin Quotations

The world is now awash in data and we can see consumers in a lot clearer ways.

Technology has come a long way since PayPal.

If we compare the two, Facebook is currently a superior place to market a product like Slide. Twitter is more like a general distribution agent. It's like broadcast radio.

If the game designer produces more content than he can consume per month, some fraction of the people will say more quests, more tests, more challenges, more whatever, and they will be compelled by it.

As I was getting interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, or some big pub guy, all I remember was that he went off to the bathroom for a second, and they brought out my omelet. The next thing I remember, I woke up, and I was on the side of my own omelet, and there was no one at Buck's. Everyone was gone. They just let me sleep.

Right now, nearly all the apps on Facebook take a week to build. No more.

Mobile is the perfect example of what is enabling economic growth in the technology sector.

If you're building a social product, you're still living in the last century if your product doesn't work on Facebook.

If I see what you're up to on Facebook but I don't see your updates on Flickr, I'll still care about Facebook.

Facebook is so ubiquitous now that it's like another manifestation of the web itself.
