Tech Weekly Podcast: Facebook at 10

This week on Tech Weekly with Aleks Krotoski we look back over Facebook's ten years since launch. Aleks is joined by Observer colleague John Naughton who is professor of public understanding of technology at the Open University and author of From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg: What You Really Need to Know About the Internet. John discusses his fear that Facebook is in danger of swallowing the web.

Also Aleks is joined by the full Guardian tech team, Charles Arthur, Jemima Kiss, Samuel Gibbs and Alex Hern to explore the digital ecology that gave rise to Mark Zuckerbergs platform, the hard numbers behind it's success, the first 10 users on the network and why some of us choose to escape the Facebook's clutches.
