When an Interview with Zuckerberg turns into a Revolt

mashable.com — The crowd had had enough of Lacy’s interview style (which was also sprinkled with a few mentions of her existing and upcoming book), and turned into a real-life manifestation of a Digg revolt. Once Zuckerberg said that Lacy will need to actually ask some questions during the interview, the audience broke into applause, and just didn’t stop.

  • jlee2081, on 03/10/2008, -7/+99just watched the video and this is waaaay over hyped.

    Yeah the audience was laughing, but far from a "Revolt"
  • cquilliam, on 03/10/2008, -1/+86No video?
  • Kyrra, on 03/10/2008, -1/+68I was at the presentation and I ended up walking out before the part of him telling her she has to ask questions, many other people were doing the same. It was just a horrible headliner for the SXSW keynotes. She would cut him off while talking; telling stories about herself instead of interviewing the person we were there to see. What a waste of time.

  • SteelChicken, on 03/10/2008, -1/+55This is Digg, where 99% of everything is hype.
  • jaymay, on 03/10/2008, -0/+44as a girl who loves the ideal of strong females with lucrative careers i have to say i HATE bitches that act like this.
  • Professr, on 03/10/2008, -1/+41This just in, stories on Digg are now over 9000% hype!
  • jacksplatter, on 03/10/2008, -0/+32HILARIOUS that she was so full of herself, and self-promoting, then had to get taken down a notch in an embarrassing way. Get over yourself, honey.
  • aok1, on 03/10/2008, -4/+36not actual footage from the interview, but Lacy's skewed view on reality: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-wyrny8PP-M
  • petebot, on 03/10/2008, -1/+31Why is it that every time I see a picture of Mark Zuckerberg I want to punch him in the face?
  • colonelbuckshot, on 03/10/2008, -1/+29http://youtube.com/watch?v=LxZ6-O5R1zs
  • dsenman, on 03/10/2008, -0/+26The first 3 words guaranteed you digs.
  • spacepirate88, on 03/10/2008, -3/+28Ha, you almost had me you sly doALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
  • borez, on 03/10/2008, -1/+25Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to let the most annoying bitch in the world conduct this interview?
  • phildo, on 03/10/2008, -3/+25Right here - http://www.austin360.com/news/mplayer/sxsw/73367
  • insllvn, on 03/10/2008, -0/+22That was just bizarre and seeing her reactions here http://youtube.com/watch?v=-wyrny8PP-M makes it all the more surreal. (this link comes from aok1's comment below, please go give him a digg) She is a self absorbed nutter. How can she think it went well when she was ridiculed by here interview? The whole thing reminded me of when Larry King came on The Colbert Report and lectured Stephen about how to do an interview, and Stephen explained, all be it indirectly, that his comedy came from purposefully doing everything wrong. Lacy did everything wrong. She was the center of attention (she seemed desperate for it), she threatened her interview with water throwing, and rediculed her target audience, saying "Let's go with the Digg model and let them have mob rule." The whole ordeal was just bizarre. CNET has some amusing coverage of the tweets sent during the interview. http://preview.tinyurl.com/yo5m7s
  • Conway, on 03/10/2008, -0/+22That was freak'n painful to watch.
  • jaymay, on 03/10/2008, -1/+23its obvious she wants to sit on his face.

  • Aslan72, on 03/10/2008, -0/+20Saw the video and here are my observations:

    - Yes, she had a thing for Mark Zukerberg and was flirting
    - Yes, she softballed the interview making it a fluff interview
    - The one comment from an audience member I saw and the one I heard suggested that the people there were a bit on the socially awkward side. I won't use the word rude, their comments were just unproductive. Seriously, at SXSW, if you go to a fluff interview, just go do something else if it turns out to be lame--there's probably a million other things to do. Were they that hard up for something to do at that time slot? Reporters need an audience--depriving them of that is much more effective than being a jerk to somebody you don't know (and giving the both of them free exposure).
  • charlie55, on 03/10/2008, -0/+20what happened here is a combination of things. in an industry with so few pretty young women, the few that are even acceptable will be praised as if they are stunning. and so valleywag had a story about how sexy sarah lacy is, even though she is just ok. and this went straight to her head, and she started thinking of herself as a story, rather than a reporter. she thought people care what she has to say about herself.

    so a girl who desperately wants to be considered attractive, has her ego inflated, and she starts to believe that she is better than she is.

    sarah lacy, of your two claims to fame, your story on kevin rose in businessweek, and your looks, neither are extraordinary.

    and that isnt meant as a criticism, just a reminder that you are normal like the rest of us, and nobody cares about you.
  • uptwolait, on 03/10/2008, -1/+19What about Ron Paul?
  • AzureRise, on 03/10/2008, -0/+17God she needs get over herslef. High profile, really? Acting like Mark took her side. He's the one who told her to stfu and ask actual questions. The whole interview was *****, her being rude to him, and her mentioning her upcoming book every other sentence.
  • MrTito, on 03/10/2008, -3/+19Maybe it's just what he's wearing, but that looks like a popped collar.
    /deletes facebook account
  • GreenGrassyNoel, on 03/10/2008, -2/+18BS, that was a horrible interview no matter who the audience was.
  • jax1492, on 03/10/2008, -0/+15it seemed like she was trying to gain some fame from trying to ask some great questions, but she came off as annoying it seems and only self serving.
  • Spytap, on 03/10/2008, -2/+17wait, which part was overhyped? The part where they shouted at her to "get the ***** off the stage" or the part where the audience member asking Mark a question told her to shut up when she started to comment on it? Seems like a revolt to me.
  • inactive, on 03/10/2008, -4/+19Who the ***** is this lady, and why should I give a *****? Buried.
  • AladinSane, on 03/10/2008, -7/+20Just out of curiosity, are we supposed to be PROUD that a crowd of kids took the rude, self-absorbed behavior they've learned Online into a real-life situation?
  • roomforpanic, on 03/10/2008, -0/+13What about Walker, Texas Ranger?
  • pyro789x, on 03/10/2008, -0/+12I figured the video was almost mandatory on an article like this... I even stopped my music before pressing the link as I usually do for video articles. I was very surprised that there was not one.
  • WNW3, on 03/10/2008, -0/+10According to her wikipedia article she is best known for...this incident! So to answer your question, she is no one and you shouldn't care.
  • Tippis, on 03/10/2008, -3/+12Yes, since the audience was right on the ball and stepped in to take those kids down a peg...
  • AzureRise, on 03/10/2008, -0/+9Over 9000!?!??
  • urbandistrict, on 03/10/2008, -0/+9Who the hell is Sarah Lacy and why should I give a *****?
  • KnightMareInc, on 03/10/2008, -1/+9They were talking about this on twit, I didnt care about it then either.
  • houndeyex, on 03/10/2008, -0/+8What a bitch.
  • Hypomanic, on 03/10/2008, -0/+8Wow she's rather self-important. Only woman reporting on tech so that's why she gets this? No, this has nothing to do with gender. This is an issue of ego.
  • DannoSpeaks, on 03/10/2008, -1/+8"a real-life manifestation of a Digg revolt." Really? That is the way you put this? A Digg Revolt? wow.... You should get outside....
  • WNW3, on 03/10/2008, -1/+8Did anyone yell "First!"
  • Vodka2389, on 03/10/2008, -0/+7It sounds like she thought she was on a date or something.
  • MacTyler, on 03/10/2008, -2/+9deleting your facebook account? Yeah good luck on that.
  • borez, on 03/10/2008, -0/+6Can you imagine being on a date with that?
  • inactive, on 03/10/2008, -1/+7That was either the greatest or the worst rickroll of all time. Probably both.
  • bxblox, on 03/10/2008, -5/+11This was a terrible "interview".... I wanted to choke her a little...
  • fredmv, on 03/10/2008, -0/+6Suckerberg is a smug little pussy and I don't understand how anyone could look at him as an "icon" or even a notable name of sorts in the software world. Facebook simply didn't break any new ground. It just had a 'right place, right time' kind of presence and took off. Whoopty-damn-do. Oh, and that bitch is annoying.
  • nekochan, on 03/10/2008, -1/+7it's a music *and tech* festival. why else would mashable be following it?
  • matthewdestroys, on 03/10/2008, -7/+13don't trust anyone with a first name for a last name.
