It is interesting that one of the cast members is Dwight Crow, a founder of the YC company carsabi. I imagine being on a show like this could lead to quite a bit of publicity but I wonder if it is worth the distraction and likely unrealistic portrayal. http://sfist.com/2012/04/05/meet_the_cast_of_bravos_new_new_...
Hyperbole much? She is an entertainment content producer. She is producing entertainment. She is not making a documentary. And only idiots and people looking for a cheap joke really think jersey shore is an actual representation of new jersey... It's more a characterization of long island!
Actually the most shameful thing about the Bravo show is that it refers to Randi Zuckerberg as an "internet entrepreneur."
The Wikipedia page on Randi Zuckerberg also refers to her as an "internet entrepreneur." Is this really the correct way to label her (i.e. What significant thing has she done in tech that earns her that title?) Someone should probably edit that wiki page. But again, I wouldn't really know what to call her either — other than something like, internet marketer?
It’s a Bravo Reality show. Of course they’re going to sex it up. Does anyone really think the “Real Housewives” resemble real housewives? If they taped real developers in their natural habitat, it would just be a timelapse of someone sitting in front of a monitor.
One of her points, stated towards the end, says, How on earth can Randi Zuckerberg — who knows how one frame of film will be taken as gospel over a thousand books, blog posts, or real interviews — sleep at night? People are stupid. They are going to assume the Bravo portrayal is an accurate depiction of Silicon Valley, much like how they assumed The Social Network was an accurate depiction of the beginnings of Facebo…
reposting my comment from that post I find the show distasteful but it is as accurate a portrayal of Silicon Valley as Jersey Shore is of that particular geo/demographic. In a way, this shows you how mainstream Silicon Valley now is - instead of just being portrayed as nerds and VCs, this shows that there exists many, many flavors of people/lifestyle here in the Bay Area. Let's be clear - this is a Bravo show, not a…
Perhaps my experience isn't an accurate depiction of the public's perception of the New Jersey coastline, but I agree that this show is an argument for how established SV has become.

Most likely description would be "entourage member of somebody famous". Or even better "privacy advocate" and "defender of freedom of speech" - as the only thing I know from is for having made the notorious statement I think anonymity on the Internet has to go away .
That would make her more of a "privacy opponent" than "privacy advocate", but that is just really a part of her job as Marketing Director at Facebook.
