60 Minutes Pimps Facebook
I’m going to puke the 3 martinis I just had this evening. I saw a promo earlier this week for 60 Minutes that showed an interview with Mark Zuckerberg the founder of Facebook and told my wife I definitely needed to watch it.
There was something about the promo that made me say, “This is a pimp job. They will not mention Myspace once during the entire interview”.
So tonight, we watched 60 Minutes.
I cannot recall a bigger pimp job on something in recent memory.
Leslie Stahl, correspondent extraordinaire, seemed to just be all goo-goo over Mark Zuckerberg and his talents. Ooooh…I can create my own page??? Ooooh…I actually have…FRIENDS out there who know me???
And lo and behold, nary a mention of Myspace, which for the record I think is the abortion of the internet.
Nothing but comparisons to Facebook being the next Google.
Uh, excuse me?? Google is a freakin’ SEARCH ENGINE. How can you compare Facebook to anything without mentioning Myspace?? And I repeat, I have nothing to do with, nor do I even like, Myspace.
Facebook, like Myspace, is a social network. Google is a search engine.
Look, Myspace, Facebook, Hi5, they are what they are. But to call them something else, in a format like 60 Minutes is P-I-M-P-I-N-G
This was a joke and proof (in my opinion) how easy it is for a 23 year old billionaire to advertise his website on CBS.

RIGHT ON dude….this was whoring at it’s best
Wish I caught this one. I’ve heard so many complaints about all the big sites, I’m going to sink all their ships. I will marry a social site to a search engine. Results will be more personable. Better get back to work. Lots to do being one person against the giants!
