I think a key takeaway from this whole story is that Zuckerberg, like Jobs with Apple, is basically Facebook in the eyes of the outside world, and so attacks on the company are going to be attacks on him personally. It's no secret that he has positioned himself as this magical founder-figure, he'll just need to take that into consideration now that Goldman is allowing the (very rich) masses to invest in his company.
Whatever happened to offering a good or service that people are willing to pay for? Is this really what makes a good business? Absorbing information from "all tech blogs everyday" so that you can regurgitate it on your blog, on your twitter, and at networking meetings?
This blog post reads more like a list of instructions on how to be the prettiest girl at the startup scene dance. These ideas are fine if the people writing the blogs and mingling at networking meetings are your potential customers, but I think most of us would be better served by getting away from all of that to talk to the people outside of the echo chamber. You know, the ones with wallets that MBAs like this guy only come in contact with when they're poring over a spreadsheet.
Before that I read Norweigan Wood and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End Of The World by Murakami, as well as Godel, Escher, Bach which took forever (I read on the subway).
