Here?s what NOT to do in this video interview by Austin360 reporter Omar Gallaga.

Sarah, here?s my PR triage crisis management recommendation for fixing this blunder:

1) Apologize for goodness sakes. Do it formally. You let your audience down. Say ?I?m sorry.? Stop justifying yourself. Aplogize to Mark too. You were mean to him.

2) Take a mulligan. Solicit questions from the SXSW audience and do a vidcast interview with Mark in humble service to the industry. Redeem yourself by showing you can rise above your mistakes. ZDNet is already collecting some questions for you.

Everyone will move on if you simply say you truly are sorry. We all make mistakes. You can redem yourself with the industry. It?s not too late. And it?s easy.

You can't expect a 23-year-old to have real-life experience. Facebook had a window of opportunity that's now closing, their growth rate peaked in late 2007.

This is a fringe designer event in a provincial Texas town. You deserved to be treated better.

15 sites that went kaput in 2009

Web sites launch all the time, but they also shut their doors. We highlight 15 that bit the dust this year.

Top 10 news stories of the decade

Let the debate begin: Was the iPhone more important than iTunes? Was anything bigger than Google finding a great business model? CNET offers its list of the 10 most important stories of the '00s.

About The Social

CNET News' Caroline McCarthy is a downtown Manhattanite who believes that, despite popular opinion, the Web can actually help your social life. She's happily addicted to fun social-media tools from Twitter to Yelp to Facebook, sends an inordinate number of text messages, and has a tendency to waste time at the office reading restaurant blogs. Here, she explores all facets of the Web's gregarious side, as well as the unique tech culture in her home city of New York. (Don't call it Silicon Alley.)
