<p>Here is the whole CBS interview on &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; of Mark Zuckerberg, which aired last night.</p>
<p>The quick poll of the piece on Twitter and in the blogosphere: The Facebook co-founder and CEO did great and his Harvard University nemisii, the Winklevoss twins, looked goony and graspy (even though Zuck <em>did</em> sandbag them).</p>
<p>And, yes, BoomTown said the Winklevii got enough dough for their role in social networking history and the &#8220;toddler CEO&#8221; turned out to be a prodigy. Also, that veteran television correspondent Lesley Stahl is a &#8220;fuddy-duddy&#8221; (she asked and I <em>keed</em>!).</p>
<p>But see for yourself, in two parts:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2010/12/Mark-Zuckerberg.jpeg"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2010/12/Mark-Zuckerberg.jpeg" alt="" title="Mark Zuckerberg" width="244" height="183" class="alignright size-full wp-image-37920" /></a></p>
<p>This Sunday, the CBS television news magazine &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; returns to Facebook after several years to check in on co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.</p>
<p>In the <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080114/facebook-the-entire-60-minutes-segment">first interview by correspondent Lesley Stahl in early 2008</a>, Zuckerberg&#8217;s social networking empire was much smaller, beset by a series of management snafus and mired in yet another privacy controversy.</p>
<p>Plus, he was more than a lot more awkward. His &#8220;was-that-a-question?&#8221; response to an obvious question by Stahl was a near classic in geek communications.</p>
<p>Fast-forward to today: Zuckerberg rules an incredibly powerful tech company worth gazillions more (good), has developed into a very polished leader (good) and even had a big Hollywood movie called &#8220;The Social Network&#8221; made about him (not so good).</p>
<p>Presumably, Stahl will cover all that in her new chat with him, which includes a visit to Facebook&#8217;s new Palo Alto, Calif. HQ.</p>
<p>Stahl also interviewed me again and pistol-whipped me&#8211;okay, she just asked&#8211;until I took back my snarkiest remark from the first one, in which I called Zuckerberg a &#8220;toddler CEO.&#8221;</p>
<p>My new take, now sporting smart-lady glasses and much grayer hair: The toddler has turned out to be a prodigy!</p>
<p>In other words, the worm has officially turned.</p>
<p>Stahl also wanted to know about the rivalry with Google, the fallout of the movie, my <a href="http://d8.allthingsd.com/20100602/whats-under-mark-zuckbergs-hoodie">epic de-hoodie-ing of Zuckerberg</a> at <strong>D8</strong> conference and <em>what-up</em> with the Winklevii (whom, I believe, I called &#8220;hambones.&#8221;)</p>
<p>Here is a <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/12/01/60minutes/main7108060.shtml">small taste of the new piece</a>, which airs at 7 pm this Sunday, followed by the entire one from 2008 and the blog post I did about it:</p>

<blockquote class="memo"><p>For those who missed it, here is the entire video of the piece CBS&#8217; &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; aired on Facebook last night, helmed by veteran correspondent Lesley Stahl.</p>
<p>It is not exactly the big wet kiss I was expecting the hot social networking company would get, but it was also definitely not an ouch-that-hurts piece that could have been done.</p>
<p>For those who don&#8217;t know the tale, it hits all the high (and low) points of the Facebook saga, with a button-pushing efficiency that television does so well. Thus, a synopsis:</p>
<p>Web Wunderkind Mark Zuckerberg, who seems genetically unable to smile (unlike, say, his deeply charming sister). Harvard. Ratty hoodies and flip-flops. Mark makes a Facebook profile for Lesley (how much do we love that she blocked her boss Les Moonves?).</p>
<p>Next stop: Silicon Valley! Dropping out and venture funding. Toddler CEO (that one was coined by BoomTown). Crazy HQ with kooky-looking employees, one of whom you know was forced to ride a unicycle through the office by Lesley.</p>
<p>Big growth. Is Mark Google&#8217;s Larry and Sergey rolled into one? Inexplicably, ZERO mention of its bigger rival, MySpace, even once. Worth $15 billion?&#8211;an insane number Lesley does not question nearly enough.</p>
<p>Oops, Privacy! Oops, Beacon! BoomTown tsks-tsks that stalkerish advertising idiocy and is asked about Mark&#8217;s qualifications as CEO (although no one cares what BoomTown thinks). Mark retorts: Hey, we need to make money. Lesley, so give the Wunderkind a break!</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2010/11/IMG_9752.jpg"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2010/11/IMG_9752-275x183.jpg" alt="" title="IMG_9752" width="275" height="183" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-36944" /></a></p>
<p>BoomTown usually does not get all weepy over the departure of public relations folks at Internet companies, in that cynical  I&#8217;ve-seen-&#8217;em-come-and-I&#8217;ve-seen-&#8217;em-go kind of way.</p>
<p>But the leaving of Brandee Barker (pictured here) from Facebook most certainly elicited a small single tear of sadness this morning, when she called into <strong>All Things Digital</strong> Global HQ to say she would no longer be tossing me her patented&#8211;and very endearing&#8211;hand-in-the-face &#8220;no comment&#8221; for the powerful social networking site.</p>
<p>After four long and tumultuous years, she leaves the company on Dec. 10.</p>
<p>(In a changing-of-the-guard theme, Barker follows longtime advertising sales exec <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20101026/exclusive-facebooks-longtime-ad-sales-head-mike-murphy-to-depart-company">Mike Murphy</a>, who also recently resigned, out the door.)</p>
<p>In a statement, Facebook said:</p>
<p>&#8220;We can confirm Brandee is leaving Facebook to start a communications consulting business focused on early stage tech companies. We are grateful for her dedication and the company has benefited greatly from her contributions. We suspect Brandee&#8217;s future clients will also value her talents and experience and we wish her much success with her new venture.&#8221;</p>
<p>Indeed, although the geeks always get the credit, Facebook owes an awful lot to Barker, for helping its products and services stand out in a sea of competitors.</p>
<p>For certain, it was not as influential as it is today when Barker got there as its head of PR,  just as the start-up was beginning to make itself known.</p>
<p>There were only seven million Facebook members when Barker joined, compared to 500 million today.</p>
<p>Still, the veteran communications exec was quickly aware of its power when 750,000 of those members protested against Facebook&#8217;s introduction of the initially controversial news feed.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had no idea when I took the job that it would be like that,&#8221; said Barker, who was employee No. 120 at Facebook, in an Interview with me this morning.</p>
<p>In fact, it has been like that ever since then, as she has navigated a series of triumphs and just as many mishaps for the company as it grew and grew.</p>
<p>One of her favorite moments, she told me, was the introduction of the Facebook platform at its inaugural F8 developers event several years ago.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mark [Zuckerberg] had a real vision and the craziness that followed it was an incredible experience,&#8221; said Barker, who was the one largely responsible for introducing the decidedly quirky co-founder and CEO of Facebook to the world.</p>
<p>For the most part, Barker shepherded him well, even as the fire hose of attention increased in media, consumer and regulatory pressure over issues ranging from the controversial founding of Facebook&#8211;Barker has a masters from Harvard University in Winklevii crisis management&#8211;to privacy snafus and more.</p>
<p>A lot of her ministrations were funny, though, as she remembered: &#8220;Another great moment was when I insisted Mark take a suitcase instead of a backpack to his first Davos in 2007, so I went out and bought him one.&#8221;</p>
<p>And let us not even get into the flip-flop controversies or when I snarkily called Zuckerberg &#8220;toddler CEO&#8221; to Lesley Stahl on &#8220;60 Minutes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Barker handled it all with grace and humor.</p>
<p>But as Facebook has grown to more than 1,500 employees and its business has boomed, Barker&#8211;who recently returned to the company after having a baby&#8211;decided that bigger was not better, at least for her.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had a pretty deep evaluation when I was away from the company that what I am good at and what I like is working with early-stage companies and their teams,&#8221; said Barker, who will start a communications consultancy. &#8220;At this point in my career, that&#8217;s what I want to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>Barker noted, in fact, that there were a lot of companies started by former early Facebook employees like her that might become clients, although she declined to be more specific.</p>
<p>In the end, another &#8220;no comment&#8221; for me from Barker!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t mind, because here is my comment, on the record and for attribution: It&#8217;s a sad day for Facebook, and I&#8217;ll miss Brandee Barker <em>very much</em>.</p>
<p>Speaking of no comment, here is Barker in one of my favorite no comments, from behind a plant at a <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080917/kara-visits-burdas-dld-luncheon-in-silicon-valley">2008 Silicon Valley luncheon for the German DLD</a> conference:</p>

Here's Part 1 of 4 of an interview I did with Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg.

The social-networking site has had quite a year, as the hottest and most hyped of the Web 2.0 landscape. With fast growth and still-questionable monetization power, where Facebook is going will be a journey plenty will be paying attention to.

In this video, I get a Princess Phone from Zuckerberg and Sandberg and apologize to Zuckerberg about calling him "toddler CEO." Then Zuckerberg talks about sharing information, learning to develop by hacking on AOL, his time at Harvard University, and Sandberg talks about her time at Harvard, in the Clinton administration and at Google.]]></description>

<p>Unfortunately, due to issues too complicated to go into, we have to post all the <strong>D6</strong> interviews in several 15-minute parts (I know, I know).</p>
<p>But&#8211;as many readers have requested&#8211;they will all be available in their entirety in this column.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are two clips of the much longer interview I did with Lesley Stahl of CBS&#8217; &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; for their piece on Facebook, which did not appear on the program last night. They are a bit tougher on the company, although I think they are also quite fair (paging Brandee Barker: That&#8217;s right, <em>fair</em>!).</p>
<p>In the first, Stahl noted at the start that I am known as &#8220;that nasty woman&#8221; at Facebook and called &#8220;mean&#8221; by some there, because I have had a few tough questions in my BoomTown posts for the social-networking start-up&#8217;s business underpinnings.</p>
<p>If that&#8217;s the reason, especially since I am also clearly praising the service itself in this clip, I guess I consider the monikers to be compliments.</p>
<p>(One caveat&#8211;in this clip, I say Facebook has &#8220;no revenues,&#8221; but this is not true obviously as I and many others have reported. I believe just previous to this part of the interview, I was asked a lot about the particulars of the revenues, which I have written need to be much less dependent on guaranteed proceeds from Facebook&#8217;s relationship with Microsoft. But that part of the interview is not here, which gives the wrong impression that I am declaring that Facebook has no revenues. It does and they are growing strongly, but my point here was that revenues are still not in sync with Facebook&#8217;s oversized valuation.)</p>

<p>In this second clip below, Stahl asks me about the &#8220;Toddler CEO&#8221; title I foisted on co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg a while back. Let me say, at the time I meant it as a joke and not as a judgment (and I know my toddlers, given I have had two actual ones).</p>
<p>Still, it probably was unfair and even ageist (in the nontypical direction) to call a 23-year-old Zuckerberg a toddler. But, as I note here, Facebook probably at least has to <em>consider</em> a more experienced CEO in the planning for an eventual IPO.</p>
