This has really made my day. TechCrunch reports that Facebook is in acquisition talks – $1bn to Yahoo! Whoopee. Then, they pick out a fabulous quote about Mark Zuckerberg, the 22-year-old CEO of Facebook:
At one point in the Yahoo! negotiations, the talks extended into the weekend, says a person familiar with the matter. Mr. Zuckerberg, this account continues, said he couldn’t take part because his girlfriend was in town. Others pointed out they were closing in on a billion-dollar deal. Mr. Zuckerberg said it didn’t matter: his cellphone would be off.
I can’t decide whether that’s devotion, arrogance or stupidity. I’m not sure it matters, he’s still my new personal hero.
