Topics: Correspondent Candids

Lesley Stahl has interviewed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg twice for "60 Minutes." She first spoke to him in 2007, when Zuckerberg was at the tender age of 23 and his company had 50 million users. Since then, Facebook has grown to 500 million users, and the story of the company's beginnings has been featured in a Hollywood movie called "The Social Network."

Watch part 1 of Lesley Stahl's report.

Lesley returned to Palo Alto a few weeks ago to interview Zuckerberg again, and she was surprised by what she found. In this week's Correspondent Candid, Lesley tells "60 Minutes Overtime" Editor Ann Silvio all about Mark Zuckerberg, what he thinks of the new Facebook movie, and who he admires as a CEO.

But that's the American Way, "Get Rich at all costs...even if it means betraying all your friends to get there!" Heck, you can just buy more friends later! There is such a gap between the rich and the poor in the United States, that it has helped create an almost $16Trillion debt. American public; DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOUR COUNTRY WILL BE COMLLETELY BANKRUPT BY THE YEAR 2015?? Then what will you do? Print more money? God help you all.

I love it and am thankful to Mark for his creation. I sent out 30 messages to possible Joe G's, someone I grew up with from my childhood. One summer we swam in his pool everyday and greated this underwater universe. He was Aqua Boy and I Aqua Girl. To my delight, one of those 30 messages got the correct response when I got the line back...Is this Aqua Girl? I cannot thank him enough for allowing us (users) to connect with those we have lost touch with.; Reply to this comment


by airjackie December 12, 2010 9:15 PM EST: I was very impressed with Mark Zuckerberg and gives hope to the US's future. Mark is smarter then most of our current Law Makers and is more honest then Bank/Corporation CEO's. He learned the value of life and how money isn't cut up to what people think. Now the twins are sad and will never do well because of greed. I hope Mark can think of us baby boomers who are still learning the new tech as I just got on facebook with the help of my granddaughter. God will bless him because he puts action behind his words.; Reply to this comment


by sabasjr December 8, 2010 5:31 PM EST: I would like to leave a suggested comment for Mark to his creative technicians, create a page where the Facebook user or client can interact with his technicians where they can get suggested ideas from Facebook users on how to and need to ideas that will keep information flowing from Facebook user to technicians. Example placing multiple selected pictures on a Facebook users' profile with caption lines, after you click on the share button and select a picture from your computer file presently only one picture can be shared on a person profile page not several, etc.; Reply to this comment
