Facebook's Julie Zhuo on product design - The Intercom Blog
Julie Zhuo, Facebook’s VP of Product Design, recounts her evolution from engineering intern to leading design for the core Facebook app, including News Feed and the Like button. She defines good design as an experience that is enjoyable, useful, easy, and accessible, noting that adding functionality without increasing complexity is a persistent challenge. There is no fixed ratio of designers to engineers; the ideal mix depends on the stage of achieving product-market fit. Effective design principles should be controversial, as they articulate why a company made a particular choice over alternatives. When competing products offer similar utility and ease, the ultimate differentiator is the emotional response the product evokes in the user.
eBay Partners with Meta for New Affiliate Program, Boosting Social Commerce for Sellers and Creators
eBay is joining Facebook’s affiliate partnerships as a beta partner, allowing creators across Facebook’s global ecosystem to feature eBay inventory directly in content. Creators can access and embed listings in Reels, photos, and text posts, and earn a commission when followers click a linked listing and complete a purchase on eBay. The integration is intended to make discovery more direct within Facebook, helping sellers reach engaged buyers, expand market reach, and generate incremental demand through creator-led storytelling. The beta is scheduled to begin in the coming months, offering sellers a new visibility channel and creators an additional monetization stream as social commerce and the creator economy continue to evolve.
