Facebook Interviewer Heckled at Web Conference

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the go-home-and-cry-in-your-billions dept.

jriding writes "Zuckerberg, the 23-year-old billionaire, was the keynote speaker at the SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas. Business Week journalist Sarah Lacy took the stage to question Zuckerberg, but the audience quickly grew tired of the topics she focused on, claiming that the real issues were being ignored. "Never, ever have I seen such a train wreck of an interview," claimed audience member, Jason Pontin." The audience apparently wanted to know more about privacy and portability issues, which I guess shouldn't surprise anyone here.

  1. It's a difficult balance by BadAnalogyGuy · · Score: 5, Funny

    On the one hand, you want to be able to post pictures of yourself passed out in your own vomit, stripped down to your panties and french kissing another sorority sister, and simulating fellatio on a blow up doll. On the other hand, you don't want people to be able to copy the pictures and send them around the web.

    I think the right word to describe this is FAIL

    You can't have your urinal cake and eat it too.

      "....stripped down to your panties and french kissing another sorority sister, and simulating fellatio on a blow up doll..."

      So...just as an example, where would those be?

  2. Sha handles it gracefully by prostoalex · · Score: 5, Funny
    Say what you want about American journalists, and their courageous representative Sarah Lacy, she handled the hiccups in the interview gracefully:

    seriously screw all you guys. I did my best to ask a range of things.

      seriously screw all you guys. I did my best to ask a range of things. I will never again be able to read anything she writes without my mind's ear hearing it in Eric Cartman's voice. Seriously, you guys.

    That's where journalist integrity comes in.

    I,... I don't understand. Why do you put those two words so close together?

    "That interview felt like awkward sex."

    Is there any other kind?
