For Facebook 'Hacker Way' is way of life

For most people, that word means something malicious - shady criminals who listen in on private voicemails, or anonymous villains who cripple websites and break into email accounts.

For Facebook, though, "hacker" means something different. It's an ideal that permeates the company's culture. It explains the push to try new ideas (even if they fail), and to promote new products quickly (even if they're imperfect). The hacker approach has made Facebook one of the world's most valuable Internet companies. Facebook's billionaire CEO Mark Zuckerberg also calls himself a "hacker".
