Beijing standard time on July 19 news: At
the height of power American second big public relations website
styles of makeup (Facebook) founder Bergh has accepted US on
the other day “Time” the weekly interview. He will talk about
styles of makeup future development pattern, own day-long work and so
on, during he indicated, the styles of makeup will not be a network
community, but will be a public relations tool.

Below is the content:

“Time”: The styles of makeup are experiencing high
speed to send the exhibition period, the daily new registration user
reaches 150,000 people, the rate of rise is MySpace three times, so
grows what is the reason?

Bergh: Some period of time, we have
suppressed the user growth in fact. At first only the university
student only then to be allowed to register. Earliest time, only
has Harvard University’s schoolmate which I goes to school to be able
to register, afterwards faced all universities to be open, all high
schools, many companies public figures also were allowed to register,
now any person all were allowed to register. Present rate of
rise by one kind of crazy speed increase, but passes the speed is
every half year user doubles.

“Time”: The styles of makeup are popular and it pay
great attention to the real status related? In yours website,
user material if the realistic deviation too is far is does not
conform to the service policy.

Bergh: Is precisely so, the real status is a
styles of makeup very important part. Our idea is, the people
have the real interpersonal relationship in the world, the people link
up are around them which is most naturally most effective the person.
If the styles of makeup can simulate this kind of interpersonal
connection in the network, then we may let the people through each
kind of application software or the tool share the information, the
picture, the video frequency or the activity. This all
foundations are the interpersonal relationship are real. This
also is the styles of makeup and many websites similarity. We
have not certainly treated as oneself a network community, we do not
prepare to construct the community, we must establish the new
interpersonal connection.

“Time”: Why do you have to be called as the styles
of makeup“the public relations tool”, but is
not“the public relations network”?

Bergh: I thought the people have“some misunderstandings”in the public
relations network. Many companies are called oneself the public
relations network, but respectively has the goal. Some are for
maintain the commercial network, some websites actually are the media
gateway, the styles of makeup want to do are let the people highly
effective link up, obtain the information, the share information.
We always emphasize the styles of makeup“the tool”attribute.

“Time”: In September, you have rejected the Yahoo!
company 1 billion US dollars purchases important contracts, before,
you have also rejected the Uygur Asia Kang parent company 750 million
US dollars important contracts. Two months ago, you expressed
the styles of makeup must maintain the independence, now or such
thinks?

Bergh: Is such. As a company, we focus
to us the matter which does, but is not the withdrawal. We
believed, if can make a good product, the styles of makeup will be
able to give people’s life to bring more values. In fact, the
styles of makeup surpass a half user to register the website every
day, this is because the styles of makeup let them be able highly
effective and the friend link up. We certainly do not want to
sell the company, within the short-term we cannot consider goes
on the market, this is not the company at present core focal point.

“Time”: If the styles of makeup do not transfer,
also does not consider to go on the market, how then you could repay
these already to invest 38 million US dollars investors?

Bergh: They support our decision very much.
They also hoped constructs a remarkable company. If you
had a look our development course——for two years ago we
only then to obtain the venture capital from Accel Corporation——to be able to know, they certainly did not worry to
obtain the repayment. We have the sufficient time to construct
the good product.

“Time”: The styles of makeup are recruiting a stock
special commissioner, will this be an indication which the company
will go on the market?

Bergh: Is not. We had 250 staffs,
already started to carry on the stock time power the reward, we needed
some people to be responsible for this matter. Some day, if we
have the opportunity to go on the market, the stock time power is a
good matter, also is a corporate growth constituent. Many people
pay attention to this matter, I feel very interestingly.

“Time”: How many months time in the past, revolved
the styles of makeup the frantic atmosphere to promote, what reason
was this?

Bergh: The recent attention, the media
domain, I thought in particular concerns with the styles of makeup
platform issue. Our first may let not develop each kind of
application software in styles of makeup work engineer, this is an
important matter, many developers have obtained a recent development
opportunity through the styles of makeup platform. Some many
companies, their complete product is in a styles of makeup platform
application. This has provided an opportunity to them, also gave
behind them the investor to provide the opportunity, regarding the
business circle said was a excited news. Similarly, our user may
obtain more services, they very are also excited.

“Time”: What do you have to the company greatly to
plan? Future three to five years, how the styles of makeup will
be able to develop?

Bergh: Future three to five years, very will
be difficult the question which replied. But, we need to do very
many work along the present development path. Now we had 30
million active users. Also has many needs to do. Some many
applications may develop, let the people through the different way
share information. I hoped the user cardinal number can continue
to grow, some advertisement hosts also have the opportunity link up by
one natural way and the people, looks like between the user mutually
to link up is same. All these matters can develop, can
consummate.

“Time”: Besides one’s own has given the network
advertisement cooperation Microsoft, how do you also prepare to create
income through this 30 million users?

Bergh: The network advertisement if with
people’s active close correlation, they is most effective. The
people in the styles of makeup website share information, here have
one kind of brand-new network advertisement pattern the opportunity.
In the future several months or several years, we will be able
to read the similar advertisement.

“Time”: The styles of makeup each month page current
capacity reaches 40000000000 much, is the American sixth big website,
also is the biggest picture shares the website. What type do you
have the internationalization strategy?

Bergh: Now we very grow from the
international market. We have 10% to come to 15% user from
Canada, England also to have the huge user group. We have not
translated the styles of makeup other language editions, we are doing
this work, will be able very quickly to complete. We at present
do all have aimed at the disparity in age section, the world different
area people.

“Time”: You recently were on a vacation, where on
played?

Bergh: Exited with mine parents have
transferred the extension.

“Time”: Three years ago, you founded the styles of
makeup in Harvard’s dormitory, now already was the full-time
employment entrepreneur, how did your one day is pass?

Bergh: Early morning gets up, I walk go to
work. The company is away from the place which I lives only to
have four blocks. I work, meet other people, discusses the
matter all day long, afterwards goes home sleeps. I do not have
the alarm clock, if some people need to awaken me, nearby my body has
a black raspberry handset.

“Time”: You are 23 year-old silicon valley CEO,
manages this high speed growth, quite directs the high-tech company
which the person pays attention, how should you to each kind of
pressure?

Bergh: That day I read apple tall Booth’s
, he said in inside:“If must make some matters,
you must to it extremely, extremely deeply love, otherwise does not
have any significance.” The construction styles of makeup
need to pay very much are very many, if you do not invest, if you
thought is not very important, that is inconceivable. The styles
of makeup for me a pleasure reason are, we already had an intelligent
team’s, they come from the different background, has the different
experience, by different way ponder. Many people always put us
in a barrel: When sells? What do you have to do?
What developmental strategy has? Why are many people nicer
we to have to recruit a stock special commissioner. However to
me, or is regarding me around the team, they certainly are interested
very much. We focus the matter constructs the styles of makeup.
