Mark Zuckerburg Disaster Interview At SXSW

AUSTIN, TX- At the SXSW Interactive Festival yesterday, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg appeared in an anticipated keynote interview with columnist Sarah Lacy. By all accounts, the interview was pretty much a disaster, as even the audience turned on Lacy before it was over. Her meandering stories and oddly laid back, flirty style during the interview seemed to rub the audience the wrong way.
Live comments on Twitter were slamming Lacy as the interview progressed. "I've never seen such a bad interview of someone on stage here. Totally disappointing" Twittered Robert Scoble. Other Twitter comments included:
"Sarah Lacey is conducting the worst interview I've seen at sxsw"...
"This interview is embarrassing #sxsw. Let the guy talk"...
"The train wreck of that interview will become a part of SXSW mythology. 'I was there.' will be a badge of pride."
Before the interview was over, Zuckerberg and Lacy seemed to be exchanging jabs. At one point, as he was answering one of her questions, she began to talk over him, only to notice his reaction. "I kind of cut you off," she said. "You kind of had this hurt look, like, 'I was talking.'"
At another point, Zuckerberg accused Lacy of making up an anecdotal story about him.
In the end, she let audience members lead the rest of the interview and ask their own questions.
