You’re going to love this one-month-old news (well… not) but it wasn’t until today that I managed to listen to the Zuckerberg keynote at past SXSW. I had read it had generated a fair amount of discussion although I didn’t know exactly why.
In any case, once you listen to the podcast you can easily understand the attendees’ indignation. Roughly, it is pretty much an hour of:
- Sarah Lacy:
- Absolutely irrelevant or bland question | Right | A-ha | My book…
- Mark Zuckerberg:
- helping people communicate more efficiently … communicate … mission … communicate … efficiently … website trend … helping people communicate more efficiently… tool … communicate …
connect …
No wonder people made fun of the whole situation! There’s even a cartoon!
In case you’re really curious here’s the podcast, from the podcasts page.
I saw it in video some weeks ago. If you think the podcast makes Zuckerberg look like E.T. you need to watch the video, is even more ridiculous. Cos Sarah asks a question to Mark, and Mark when answering doesn’t even look at her, he looks to the audience and turns on his cheesy commercial mode.
Well, he is still a kid.
