Here are a few video highlights from the first part of the D6 interview of Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, conducted by conference co-host Kara Swisher.
Because Mark Zuckerberg is barely in his mid-20s, his résumé is a bit thinner than others here. Well, except for his first job as founder and CEO of Facebook, perhaps the most explosively popular social-networking company ever and the most high-profile Web 2.0 start-up. The Harvard undergrad brought the company to Silicon Valley before he had a chance to graduate from college, but managed to get a $15 billion valuation for the company anyway. Sheryl Sandberg was Facebook’s first high-profile hire, coming to the social-networking site from Google earlier this year. At Facebook, she manages a wide swath of the company’s business operations, including sales, marketing, business development, human resources, public policy, privacy and communications.

Here are a few video highlights from the D6 interview of Jeff Bewkes, President and CEO, Time Warner, conducted by conference co-host Kara Swisher.
While Jeff Bewkes only recently became president and CEO of the media behemoth at the beginning of this year, he has long been an influential executive at Time Warner HQ, including its digital assets, like AOL, despite the fact that he was also a prescient critic of the merger of AOL and Time Warner. Mr. Bewkes made his chops in the entertainment arena, especially at Time Warner’s HBO division in its glory days of growth. The media giant now plans to spin off Time Warner Cable, so the obvious next questions are what will it do with AOL and how can Time Warner remain relevant in the Internet business?
