Mark Zuckerberg apologizes. Now can we move on?

The entire blogosphere it seems has been standing at rapt attention waiting for Mark Zuckerberg to come down out of his lofty ivory tower (or Ivy League tower) and apologize for screwing things up.

Now, he has.

So, can everyone breath one big collective sigh of relief and let's move on to something else? Probably not, as issues still remain.

The one thing I keep reminding myself in all of this is that the Founder and CEO of a web property some are valuing at $100 billion (!) is only 23 years old.

I have sons that age and  I can't imagine putting this sh*t-load of pressure on them. I don't care how smart Mark is - a genius even -- he's still 23.  And while I'm sure being called the next Bill Gates is good for Mark's ego, you've got to imagine he's just a little nervous about the comparison as well.

I do have one more question. Where are his parents in all of this?

NOTE: The link to the site reporting Mark's apology is bub.blicio.us and it must be getting hit hard at the moment, as it's loading really, really slowly. You can find his actual apology .

it's all about accountability isn't it?

(and only a proud father would ask where Mark's parents are, lol)
