Mark Zuckerberg “60 Minutes” Interview [VIDEO]: “The Social Network Got It Wrong”

Blockbuster Facebook drama The Social Network has been hailed the Best Film of 2010 by The National Board of Review and is stirring up Oscar buzz for stars Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake, but real-life Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg — about which the film is based — says the movie got basic things wrong about the origins of the world’s leading social networking website.

In an interview with the CBS newsmagazine 60 Minutes on Sunday, Zuckerberg said he hosted a night out at the movies for his entire staff when The Social Network was released in September. And although the media mogul, 26, calls the flick “pretty fun,” he was quick to add that the film’s producers have got him all wrong.

60 Minutes also featured an interview the Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Harvard University classmates who accused Zuckerberg of stealing their idea and turning it into a billion-dollar empire.

“It’s pretty interesting to see what parts they got right and what parts they got wrong,” Zuckerberg told CBS’ Lesley Stahl. “I think that they got every single T-shirt that they had the Mark Zuckerberg character wearing right. And they got sandals right and all that. But I mean, there are hugely basic things that they got wrong, too. They made it seem like my whole motivation for building Facebook was so I could get girls.”

Chris Cox, Facebook’s Head of Product Development, also sat down with Stahl and shared why he thinks the company’s search results are more useful than those of search engine giant Google’s.
