Like a comedian who brutally roasted the entire senior executive staff. I had to get the "hook" out. That hook may have been handy on this show too. I’ve had some tough experiences on events.

Zuckerberg is young and he acts it, at least on the surface. I think you can tell by looking at him that he has BIG ideas, but doesn't know how to express them adequately. That tension between his brain and his mouth adds to his excitement and anticipation. It also seems that the crowd was rowdy from the beginning. I think that the informal aspect of the interview-style keynote provoked audience response. For one, they were accepting of shouts even in the first minutes, so the crowd felt comfortable interjecting right away. Once she solicits the audience and starts the Q&A, it's all over - "talk about something interesting..." Cool video commenting thingy, too. :-) I caught that 20/20 segment.

Have not been able to find it there myself. Way out of proportion. I didn’t catch that, although I just heard that the SXSW story was featured on the MSNBC homepage next to the Spitzer scandal.
