Mark Zuckerberg wants you to know just how much advanced technology goes into operating the social media giant that is Facebook. 。

He announced on Wednesday that he'll begin to share photos on his Facebook profile about some of the new technologies Facebook is building, starting with a look at one of its data centers in Europe. 。
