I was a big fan of The Social Network so I was not surprised by its warm reception at the Golden Globes. I read somewhere that Zuckerberg wouldn’t say whether he liked it or not, but thought its audience size was laughable compared with Facebook’s: “We build products that 500 million people see… If 5 million people see a movie, it doesn’t really matter that much.”
I’m surprised by that comment. For a guy in the business of social media, he should know better than to underestimate the potential impact of 5 million impressions, expecially knowing the depth of those impressions.
Anyway, Kudos to David Fincher for being one of best story tellers of 2010.
