They editorialized and dumbed the story down to a fairy tale, and made Zuckerberg look like a childish fool. Why oh why would anyone voluntarily be on this show? EDIT: At least they did in 2008.. apparently I'm watching the old interview. I'd like to see the new one if it's available on a working video site.

  I just caught the new 60 Minutes segment by accident. I think I saw the whole thing. It's always fascinating to listen to Zuckerberg. Having said that the segment as a whole was pretty superficial and came off more as a promo for Facebook's new format rolling out tomorrow.

I'm always upset when I watch tech company interviews on TV expecting them to cater to me - someone who keeps up to date on technology news, instead of a general audience that isn't as knowledgeable.

  I find it healthy and refreshing to take a step back frequently and look at these things from such a perspective. Like, say the perspective of your parents. I think it's that kind of reflection which helps make businesses like Facebook and entrepreneurs like Zuckerberg successful.

  I'm really hating Youtube's ads. A pre-roll commercial is almost as annoying as 20 seconds of buffering in RealPlayer 10 years ago. Couple that with the mandatory re-showing of the same ad when I try to skip forward, it's a piss poor user experience in 2010.

I was excited to watch this, but the whole time I was thinking ... "What an incredible advert for facebook's new profile pages launch". I didn't learn one single thing new that I didn't know about facebook or Zuckerberg before ... except that he took his entire company out to see 'The Social Network' 60 minutes got played like a banjo.
