Bloomberg TV aired a "Game Changers" episode about Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday night.
The one-hour documentary offered an excellent look inside the making of Facebook, featuring interviews with many of the key players (although Zuckerberg himself "declined to participate.")
Part of Bloomberg's description:
"From rarely seen footage shot on location inside the company's corporate headquarters in 2005, to interviews with billionaire technology investor Yuri Milner and former Chief Privacy Officer Chris Kelly, Bloomberg Television examines Zuckerberg's fast track from geeky computer science student to CEO, and looks at what could lie ahead for the $50 billion privately held company."
We watched the show and picked out some of the best parts. We tried to focus on lesser known facts
(Disclosure: Business Insider's Nicholas Carlson is quoted throughout the piece because he has been influential in the reporting of the Facebook story.)
"He's always had friends. He's a pretty social guy. I think the last time I checked, I think, 879 friends on Facebook?" - Journalist Jose Antonio Vargas
"He comes from an unbelievably supportive family... He's kind of a prince. And I think his parents in fact called him the prince." - The Facebook Effect author David Kirkpatrick
"At the same time, as he was getting in trouble for building a mischievous web tool, he built a mischievous web tool that was really, really popular." - Business Insider deputy editor Nicholas Carlson on Facemash
