Facebook Founder Goes on 60 Minutes

Doron's Take:

Turn on your t.v. this Sunday at 7 pm for an interview with Facebook founder, Zuckerberg. I'm sure it'll be a worthwhile one. The reporter Stahl focuses heavily on the controversy surrounding Beacon, the advertising beacon used by Facebook. We all heard the story of the guy who bought his girfriend a diamond ring online and before he knew it his girlfriend and his entire Facebook network knew about it. Well, so much for the surprise proposal he planned for his girlfriend.

Facebook, one of the fastest growing sites online has 60 million users. Zuckerberg started Facebook while a student at Harvard and he's now worth $3 billion based on the Microsoft deal. But sounds like the $ hasn't gone to his head yet as he showed up to the interview in sweatshirt and sandals. :-)

Click here now for a preview, 60 Minutes interview with Zuckerberg. He'll speak to Beacon, the controversial advertising device many accused of invading the privacy of Facebook users.
