Mark Zuckerberg on 60 Minutes

Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook was interviewed by 60 Minutes recently. As expected, he didn't share any important business information (Facebook is known to be extremely secretive). However it was interesting to watch the reporter focus on Zuckerberg's age and whether he makes a good CEO or not. The reality is that Zuckerberg is running an extremely successful operation and while he may have made mistakes with the Beacon launch, by and large he's being doing a good job.



I found Charlene Li's comments that Facebook is becoming a better search tool than Google fascinating. There's no doubt that we're starting to depend upon each other more for information. We're trusting each other more than the technology. Will we reach a point where we'd rather first search (or ask friends questions) on Facebook than Google? Who knows, but I'm sure Google is wondering too.
