Facebook Founder Zuckerberg Stimulates the 'Oprah' Crowd

by Warren Riddle on March 16, 2009 at 11:49 AM

Last week, Oprah hosted Facebook wunderkind Mark Zuckerberg to discuss his constantly expanding social networking site. The site, originally created by Zuckerberg and a few Harvard classmates five years ago, now numbers over 175-million members with 500,000 more joining everyday.

Prior to the sitdown, we said it would either be the most bizarre or the most boring interview since Tom Cruise, and it certainly wasn't boring, even when the conversation turned to matchmaking. We're not sure what they put in the coffee in the Oprah greenroom, but it has to be something more stimulating than Diet Coke. Appearing almost jittery, Zuckerberg seemed over-anxious to dispel the '60 Minutes' inspired notion that he's boring and reserved. Perhaps he's just so taken with Twitter that he was trying to answer in rapid fire bursts of 140 characters or less. Either way, you can decide for yourself after watching the riveting discussion above. [From: Valleywag]
