Whenever I see Mark Zuckerberg in public in front of all his peers, he is always so frightened and insecure. Perhaps in the back of his mind, he's always thinking about the fact that he just has to last a bit longer so he can get away with not one, but two cases of theft (ConnectU and nowthis). Or perhaps today is the day where the world sees him for who he really is: a small time crook who got real lucky, and gets to sit in the private dining room in the back of the italian restaurant with the mafia bosses.



Or maybe he's just shy and you're just jealous? Nah, it's probably the mafia boss thing.


Yes, I think I read a story somewhere that during one of the VC rounds he was so nervous about the terms that he ended up curled up on the floor of the bathroom??

Anyway, I think he seems like an all around decent guy, and I admire anyone who has the guts to turn down a billion from Yahoo (especially at his age, and on his first business!) That shows vision and confidence, so I think he's the perfect CEO for Fb (which will likely one day have a market cap greater than Yahoo).


He's clearly way out of his league, but then, has managed to pull it off... so maybe not.

I see him as extremely sleazy - just the type of person who I hate to see become successful.

Facebook is the prime example of a company that needs a real CEO, with actual business experience and ethics. Not one of those MBA types who is actually a complete idiot, though. I guess it would be very hard to find the right person.
