Oh dear, Business Insider is at it again. They’ve just published a post entitled: “Zuckerberg Resign?” in which they talk about what they call the “on-stage meltdown” of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the recent All Things D conference.
They attempt to outline way Mark Zuckerberg should resign as head of Facebook, something which I personally think would be a massive mistake.
It seems to me that Business Insider has it in for Mark, period. It seems that not a week goes past without some kind of Zuckerberg or Facebook bashing article from Business Insider.
The fact of the matter is Mark Zuckerberg made Facebook what it is today, and I very much doubt any other Management-esc CEO drafted in by some suits would do half as good a job, or even reach half the amount of users that Facebook currently has.
Sure he’s made mistakes, just about every businessman on or off the net has, it’s all part of the learning process, but the fact of the matter is Mark is Facebook, and Facebook is Mark. Without his guidance it wouldn’t be the success it is, and if the VC’s had their way it would be yet another MySpace chugging along, devoid of the passion and edge that web start-ups have.
So hey, cut him some slack. And if you want to see someone torn apart in an interview, try watching the BBC’s Jeremy Paxman. From MP’s to Prime Ministers, he doesn’t hold back.
