What Mark Zuckerberg's really said about HTML5 at Disrupt yesterday.

Yesterday, at Disrupt SF, Mark Zuckerberg discussed Facebook's mobile strategy. In the process he made a few comments about HTML5. Predictably news outlet and social media were quick to jump on them. Quotes were taken out of context and conclusions hastily drawn. In order to set the record straight, I wanted to share the transcript with you and let you draw your own, informed conclusions: "When I'm introspective about the last few years I think the biggest mistake that we made, as a company, is betting too much on HTML5 as opposed to native... because it just wasn't there. And it's not that HTML5 is bad. I'm actually, on long-term, really excited about it. One of the things that's interesting is we actually have more people on a daily basis using mobile Web Facebook than we have using our iOS or Android apps combined. So mobile Web is a big thing for us." --Mark Zuckerberg, Disrupt SF, September 2012.
