Steve Jobs was never really described as warm and cuddly, especially when it came to dealing with other business leaders. (Just check out Jobs’s comments about former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt.)
However, the late Apple founder did seem to have an appreciation for Mark Zuckerberg, the 28-year-old founder of Facebook, according to Business Insider.

In a new, long-ranging interview Jobs’s official biographer, Walter Isaacson, states that the reason Apple didn’t “crack the code on social” was largely because of Facebook’s success.

According to the late Apple CEO, as relayed by Isaacson:

"Maybe because Mark (Zuckerberg) did it so well. There’s not a need for a whole lot of social networks and Facebook has got it licked".

Jobs, it seems, admired Zuckerberg’s “intuitive feel.” As such, Jobs felt that Zuckerberg was willing to “do stuff that allows him to be on shifting sands — his willing to cannibalize old things. He felt an odd kinship to Mark,” Isaacson said.
