This -- -- down gonna say it proved to be back.

What's the upside here -- -- you know you've -- -- be installed user base of a billion people and a company that hasn't done much -- -- -- in mobile is that where the rural fruit lives for FaceBook.

I think FaceBook is is almost sent transition -- a period where they have to go on figure out their mobile strategy.

They just had this huge IPO we're -- now they certainly have enough cash.

To take that cash put it to work.

And figure out how they're going to go into mobile.

But they have such momentum that they're going to be able to figure it out along the way Mobil's really just in the beginning stages.

And there's so much room for growth there over the long term.

They gonna have to get more aggressive though and there's been some.

Evidence of this of like of ads showing up in your news they like how aggressive do they need to get and how tricky is it for them.

Users have privacy.

How concerned -- how big of a concern is that to the company.

The on.

That attitude within the -- and -- the morale within FaceBook and I think.

Marquez and showed tremendous resilience over the years he's there have been multiple attempts for other folks to come -- and deviate the course of FaceBook and -- stayed strong with his vision.

And so I think that he is it in gotten a lot of great experience is a leader.

And that he really led his company well.

-- has a pretty clear vision for where he's taking FaceBook.

And mobile is definitely going to be a part of that now they really until an excuse.
