Maybe he should set up a website so that he can stay in touch with his friends or something ...
- Crath, on 01/15/2008, -2/+40I watched this, and hes not a great public speaker, or great ceo, or really that smart, hes just lucky for the position that he was in at the time.
I'm not saying hes dumb or anything, hes a bright person and has made lots of good choices, but lets not expect him to be a super genius like Tom over at myspace... of course. - inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+32that was a really bad interview..
- nonpareil, on 01/15/2008, -1/+31Hmm, that thumbnail leads me to believe Mark Zuckerberg has not aged well.
- solodan1000, on 01/15/2008, -3/+29He does seem like a douche. I tried friending him. He has still yet to accept...
- decker12, on 01/15/2008, -3/+20I thought the guy sounded like a real condescending dick.
- jxfallout, on 01/15/2008, -0/+16And here I am thinking that Mark simply aged terribly.
- numberneal, on 01/15/2008, -2/+18my dream job; i need to put that unicycle into my salary negotiations.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+15Or its lazy people who don't use the reply function
- SpykerSpeed, on 01/15/2008, -1/+16Approximately 60 minutes too long.
- Rejuevie, on 01/15/2008, -0/+14The interview was very odd. There were times where it looked like he was just staring into space. And poor Lesley was doing her best to get him to inject some personality into the interview. I still find Facebook's Beacon fascinating though.
- vpshockwave, on 01/15/2008, -3/+17Myspace and genius shouldn't even be used in the same sentence these days.
- HayString, on 01/15/2008, -2/+14Anyone notice how in the commercials promoting it they kept saying stuff about how young he looks? They were like, "Would you believe that this kid who doesn't even look like he's started puberty yet is the inventor of Facebook? See the exclusive interview tonight on '60 Minutes'."
- david468, on 01/15/2008, -0/+10Facebook is the new Google? I had no idea...
- AustinHannah, on 01/15/2008, -0/+9Can't say I really understand the Facebook to Google comparison. So.. on Google I can search for anything and get a million results from a huge number of sources... and on Facebook I can ask my friends about things? I fail to see the similarities other than the fact that they are both very valuable.
- Ireland, on 01/15/2008, -1/+9WHO GIVES A ***** THAT HE WEARS NO SOCKS!!
PS, Kara Fisher is a pain in the ass. Put on some make-up, relax and stop bitching about everyone. - inspecality, on 01/15/2008, -1/+9except when being sarcastic... of course.
- SpikeLee, on 01/15/2008, -3/+11Because people probably abuse the thumbnail feature.
- dgp1, on 01/15/2008, -0/+8Yeah, not like Tom from Myspace. He's everybody's Myspace friend, and that makes him a nice guy.
Which is hilarious because of one thing--since most idiots don't remove Tom it breaks the entire "NETWORK" part of social network because everyone "is in your Extended Network" due to the fact that most of your friends are all "Friends" with Tom! - fuzzmeister, on 01/15/2008, -2/+9If you don't like what it does with your information, don't use it. Simple as that.
- timjim31, on 01/15/2008, -0/+6faciabook?
- LokitheComplex, on 01/15/2008, -1/+7All that coke and women.
- Cimlite, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6Searching on the net? Pfft... that's so 2007.
Everyone knows the "future" is messaging your friends, asking for information. Actually... if it gets any more futuristic we will probably write our questions on paper and use the postal service to ask our friends. - bffoley, on 01/15/2008, -1/+7Exactly. He said "Hey, lets make a MySpace that doesnt suck!" and got rich off of it. Sure, he's rolling in the dough now, but lets see if he's still rich in 5-10 years. Anyone remember Shawn Fanning?
- timjim31, on 01/15/2008, -1/+7I'm pretty sure it's a cut and future job.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5Hey, that's not why I hate him.
- colto, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5We saw it the first time.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4I laughed so hard at this comment that my nose is now bleeding :(
- TubaTechno, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4is that spanish?
- kurrent, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4i could have done without sergey and larry comparison
- lewhich, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3Could be 161 dog years
- simplenation, on 01/15/2008, -3/+6Geniuses do not use Myspace.
- web2pointYo, on 01/15/2008, -1/+4I think I figured out whats so disturbing about listening to him speak. He appears to be some sort of android or robot running a human interaction program. Hes a less humorous Data from Star Trek. I kept expecting him to pause after her questions, tilt his head and say "computing...computing...". I'll give him all the credit for creating(stealing? TBD) the idea of Facebook. But if he really had any business brains he would turn over the PR to someone who loves interacting with other humans and not lines of code. The company has been valued very high, but it could go through the roof, just not with him as its spokesman. Also, 240 from bill gates is like your dad handing you 5 bucks to start a lemon aid stand. Come to think of it, thats actually high. Probably more like 50 cents.
- inactive, on 01/16/2008, -0/+3Do you know many brazilians named Zuckerberg?
- MScrip, on 01/15/2008, -1/+4Shawn Fanning invented software that could be used for copyright infringement. I'd say Facebook is already on a better track than Napster.
- galleryfront, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/jan/14/f ...
- PhrosTT, on 01/16/2008, -0/+3also, the navigation is intentionally ineffecient to generate extra pageviews....
- fakekevinrose, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3how did you manage to ***** that up spyd3rweb?
- budser, on 01/15/2008, -1/+4link to video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UNrqz6X-AE - Ireland, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3It's never all luck. They made some good design choices, good business choices and chose a good name too (even if it's not 'that' apt it's simple and memorable). And he would of had to work very hard. There's luck in the mix though.
- anselm83, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2You'd sound like a condescending dick too if asked to do a segment on par with that ***** Lesley Stahl just excreted.
- duggfunny, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2you can pick up your prize at the counter on your left as you leave the site
- wushi, on 01/15/2008, -1/+3best comment of the week!
- vertigo242, on 01/15/2008, -1/+3Jesus that video was laggy as *****, couldn't stream for anything. Zuckerberg is also probably one of the most awkward people to interview, like a computer geek that made too many friends too fast to become more sociable in time. Smart guy though, gotta love Facebook. The apps are beginning to make it too much like myspace, I feel like sooner or later it'll spin out of control.
- dosboy, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2Here's a few items that I got from the interview...
1) He started the web app w/data (pictures) stolen from servers at Harvard's student services.
2) At least 2 of the people he started the app with at Harvard are now suing him. His take on this? "We, uh, have lawyers..."
3) He lists himself as Harvard alumni. He dropped out. Asked about this, he replies, "The web site doesn't have a 'dropout' entry", yet at earlier points in the interview it's been made clear that he's been involved in the coding of the site from inception to current. Hmmm...
4) The response to the Google comparison was disappointing... Mark's new #1 on to-do list: 1) Learn about that humility thingy.
That's all for now. Just another know-it-all on the Internet. - ZoomBoy, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1I love how he walks like a robot.
- there, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1 Google looks like a fabulous place to work too but come on dude... the guy dresses casual, maintains a playful environment to work in, sits alongside his employees, and still manages to make some time to code during the day.
I worked five years behind an IBM cubical working for mostly technically illiterate aparachnik managers that wasted a fair chunk of their time (and mine) making sure employees were authorized to order late night sev1 pizzas
Of course a short interview isn't enough to judge a man's character but given what was presented I think you are way off base with your assessment. He seems great. -
