Everyone's talking about the new film "The Social Network," and since we're a business-orientated class, let's join in. I haven't actually seen the film yet (and you don't have to for this blog, unless you want to), but I've compiled some responses to the film that should spark discussion.
First, here's Mark Zuckerberg's Wikipedia page for basic background info.
Here's an NPR article with some responses to the film
And a Business Week article
What reactions do you have to all the hype? Where do you stand on the "Greed is Good" mentality of the eighties, where it's lead us, and how it pertains to current business endeavors. What would a negative portrayl of Zuckerberg say of how our culture views successful business people? What do you think of Zuckerberg's recent philanthropy in light of the film coming out? Is Facebook a "revolution?" How might Zuckerberg's story pertain to an up-and-coming entrepreneur, or someone with a vision. Feel free to comment on anything else that interests you pertaining to this topic.
