Founder plays down Facebook's role in Arab revolt

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has played down the importance of the social networking website for the popular revolutions that toppled presidents in Egypt and Tunisia.

Zuckerberg says the wave of protests against autocratic governments sweeping through the Arab world could have been organized using other websites. The 27-year-old says "it would be extremely arrogant for any specific technology company to claim any meaningful role." (AP)
