3. Zuckerberg claims that his appearance on Oprah was to announce a 100 Million dollar donation to Newark Schools. Do you think this philanthropy is genuine, or did he do this to coincide with the release of the "unauthorized", "fictional" tale of his life? Is this just good marketing?
I don't think that Zuckerberg's appearance on Oprah was intentially only for the purpose of the movie "social network". In the video you can tell that he is a really sincere, down to earth and genuine guy especially as he is a billionaire. I dont really think the realization of his success has hit him yet seeing as how he is renting out a bungalow to live in. With that being said, when it does hit him, will he become like one of those greedy businessmen who want more and more stealing company money and getting into lawsuits? Who knows. But if he stays the kind of person he is now and never changes for the worse then he'll be fine making facebook a better communication server as well as perhaps making new Internet connectivity innovations.
The very first thing I thought after seeing the video and reading about him was, "Wow, I wonder what his parents are thinking/doing right now?"
His parents must be soo proud of him although probably regret nagging him about getting off the computer and starting on his reports and homework for college.
