60 Minutes Interview with Mark Zuckerberg
Ohhhhh Murdoch. How can you own so many communication companies and still not make any sense? I haven't seen such a side stepped answer since Rumsfeld. Plus, he says great things about how his users "Go on for an hour and go through 100 pages...dont know if that adds up to much". This man is seriously out of touch.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, and my bad about commenting that Zuckerberg didn't own facebook on your presentation comment card last week. -chris
