Zuckerberg, Musharraf and Phillip Rosedale bump in Robert Scoble in Davos

Posted by Marshall on January 26, 2008 | Link It

I suppose if I was sitting in a hotel lobby in Davos, while the World Economic Forum was going on this month, this kinda thing could have happened to me.  Imagine Zuckerberg AND Musharraf hanging with Robert Scoble in The shy Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook:

"…He invited me to a breakfast with Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf. We walked together to the breakfast, which was interesting because of Musharraf’s comments, where he defended his administration. After the breakfast Mark and I spent a bunch of time together, where he gave me permission to quote him."

Darn, I must not be going to the right conferences - my new measure should be if I can bump into Musharraf and Zuckerberg than I know I'm in the right room.

Nah! But it does sound like a pretty exclusive club - not that I would have minded being invited - I would have loved to go. 

Diden't know that Zuckerberg was uncomfortable around bloggers (how'd he do so well with Scoble)?

"…..asked him why he doesn’t like going on video and seems to have difficulty dealing with the press and bloggers. He said he was shy. Asked me not to video him “I freeze up,” he told me. He did promise to meet more with bloggers and to give me a video interview when he’s back home."

I know the feeling - I freeze up too, sometimes, when you put me in frount of a group of people and ask me to speak - but it's getting better.
