Interview With Mark Zuckerberg From 2005 Goes Viral [VIDEO]
An interview with Mark Zuckerberg that was added on YouTube about a year ago is virally spreading. In 2005 Facebook had 5 million users, barely had any funding, and was no where near considering an IPO. So you can see why Zuckerberg was so informal during the interview process back then. Zuckerberg is carrying a beer during the interview and sounded like he did not have plans for his social network to expand beyond the college market. Check out the video above.

The Winklevoss Twins Respond To Larry Summers
A few days ago, I wrote about how former Harvard University president called the Winklevoss twins a**holes while on stage at a conference hosted by Fortune. In a politically correct response, the Winklevoss twins responded by saying “We now further understand why our meeting was less than productive; someone who does not value ethics with respect to his own conduct, would likely have little interest in this subject as it related to the conduct of others.
