Mark Zuckerberg held his very first Facebook Live Tuesday afternoon.

After predictably highlighting his passion for making the world a better place by connecting everyone on the planet (through Facebook, obviously) and bringing more opportunity to everyone, Zuckerberg moved on to the topic of virtual and augmented reality, an area in which the social networking giant is showing increasing interest.
If you let anyone ask you a question, be prepared for a doozy.
In reply to an allegation-on being a lizard, he replied, ‘I’m going to have to go with no, I’m not a lizard’. “You get out of the bed you go to the bathroom…”
He also answered the top voted question on whether Facebook will allow users to create folders or a file sub-system in the future.
Considering that the Live video feature is still new, Zuckerberg said that it would be lovely if others could interact in a live video, if they could pop-in a conversation and join others.
Come to think of it, Zuckerberg looks a little like a lizard (no offence).
“What you’re thinking or feeling, in its kind of ideal and flawless form in your head and be[ing] able to share that with the world”, is what Zuckerberg wants to see next, he said, responding to questions from The Washington Post. It’s a technology that is still many years away. It’s fair to say we didn’t expect to hear it either. “Facebook is free-it always has been”.
Seinfeld was probably the raw energy that Zuckerberg needed and yet not need at the same time.
Zuckerberg also gave an update on his effort to build artificial intelligence software for his home.
If you’ve missed out the live session, you can still watch the entire Q&A session here. “So, I am a part of a lot of Hungarian sheep dog groups on Facebook”, he said. But we are going to put in a tremendous amount of work to keep us from just going to the door and opening it.
“That’s not my thing”, Zuckerberg said.

Since the goal was supposed to be “super easy”, Zuckerberg explained that he chose to train for a triathlon instead, only to fracture his radius bone last week in a tumble “ten seconds” into a ride on his new bike.
