Can we really imagine an operation as reserved and controlled as the Facebook PR team had no idea that Sarah would be giving this kind of interview? The goal was to look more accessible and fun (and to his credit, Zuckerberg was talking to a lot of press at Sx, large and small), but when the tactic went south they left Lacy hanging. Not that she didn't ask for all the rope and then some.

Brian summarized it well (IMHO). SXSW seemed to want this type of interview. If I was SXSW I would have wanted this type of interview. And me, personally, I enjoyed it - I think they nailed their objective. If SXSW did not deliver what people were wanting, maybe they should ask for it (not during the interview), because this obviously wasn't it. nor was it intended to be. and whose to blame? really? just misplaced expectation... sometimes, what is, simple is. and wanting something different, is simply that, wanting something different. What’s the big deal? or am I missing something.

OMFG is she really trying to land a piece of Zuckerberg? I think Coleen wrote an excellent summary. I've seen the whole interview, and even as a non-geek, I was disgusted at the interview. God, please let me never be such a bad interviewer. While a lot of people have tried to backup Lacy, I too agree that she did an awful job. OMFG is she really trying to land a piece of Zuckerberg?
