Thanks for commenting on this, Dave. Were you there or just following? I saw the tweets coming in real-time and know of Zuckerberg but not Sarah Lacy.

From what I’ve read, from both ends (the totally irate and the more sympathetic let’s learn from this thing), sounds like all the parties had some role to play in how it is that this keynote went flat (or sharp, depending on how you heard it).

To me, it seems that the organizers have the most to learn – in terms of setting expectations for the audience, the hosts, the interviewer and the interviewee.

Honestly? She was awful. Her manner was irritatingly flirtatious, while appearing to be lobbing softballs while her audience wanted to know the gory details.

Which is fine as far as it goes, but then the one comment she made about how “you do the job if you think it’s so easy.” was over the top and uncalled for. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Bottom line, if you’re a journalist and the story is about YOU, something has gone dreadfully horribly wrong. She appears not to understand that.
