Concerning Zuckerberg stealing his idea:
I have a lot of ideas, but if someone else implements them, I don't deserve to get paid for them. I believe the twins might have had the idea, but Zuckerberg wrote the code. It belongs to him. I think he paid those guys off to just make them go away and quit trying to suck the life out of a product he developed.

Let me get this straight.

Zuckerberg was hired to create what became Facebook. He STOLE the idea. He cheated and lied to the guys who originated the concept.

He as much as admits this by agreeing to settle with them for 65M

Before stealing this idea what was his claim to fame? Oh yes, creating a Hot or Not website for the students at Harvard. WOW - isnt that original!!!

And yet 60 Minutes is treating him as a hero? An entrepreneur?

If he doesn't steal the Facebook idea he'd be a nobody.

You should be ashamed. Sycophants

While privacy Issue is of great importance, I feel the social Network basically gives you the choice of what to put in there. It is free for crying out loud!!! I have a facebook account and off course there is bound to be challenges of privacy violations, but hey, the platform gives you options of placing what and how to protect what you share.
Privacy issues is a combined effort. Resting it on Mark alone will not work.
Security on facebook should be highly encrypted, but responsibility also lies with its users. Its a two way game.

My name is Angel Goddess, it's been my legal name for almost four years now and I am disappointed that everytime I try to register with this company they send me canned texted messages saying that I'm not noticed as a real person. If I wanted to use my maiden name, I wouldn't have changed it legally. I've tried over ten times to connect with the site; their engineers, or personnel but never successful, I even tried to send them my identification and social security card but they won't provide ways to do so. Again, how can 500million people get on and I can't get one response other than a canned texted message. Redirecting me to their help menu, which holds only the same information on why I'm not recognized as a real person. If CBSnews can help, I would appreciate it. Thoughtfully, Angel Goddess.

I couldn't believe it when he was named person of the year. I guess it just goes to show you how useless and shallow the media has become.

Do I have a facebook account? Unfortunately, yes. I opened it per request from an organization that I joined and have regretted it ever since. News about selling personal information to businesses and the spam I started getting has made the account not worth while. I have basically abandoned it and if I knew how to close it, I would.

Mark Zuckerberg for person of the year? I think not. There are many, many people far more worthwhile.
