one of the things they disagreed on, sheryl sandberg said, look, we know we are facebook here and cany and branson disagreed. he said he thinks company's candy more. sandberg: not everybody has the face ability -- the flexibility of facebook to mr. branson: i'm not sure. if you are flying for an airline, you have to check in at a certain time and check out at a certain time or the plane doesn't fly. but for the head office type of jobs around the world, they can offer complete flex ability. is starting to put his money where his mouth is. weeks of parental leave paid shared between moms and dads. virgin says they are tried to do that at all virgin companies around the world. -- are trying to do that at all virgin companies around the world. her big thing is, if you get more leave to moms, that reinforces the idea that women are the primary caregiver and dads shouldn't be taking as much time off as moms. the most of what an thing is that men and women get equal time off. it can be tricky because sometimes, when employees get unlimited leave, they take less leave. so it will be adjustin

what is your chance that sheryl sandberg takes over? >> that is very much a rumor. that is really the step they need to look at. they need to look to companies like facebook that know what they're doing, increase revenue numbers, increase user growth. that is what twitter needs right now. they need a total shift in strategy. that would be a very good move. there are a number of other companies that would work as well but sheryl sandberg is top of the list. deirdre: she is superstar. they would be lucky to get her. poll of two, there we two. russ, thank you so much, product hunt editorial director. >>> whether you tweet or use facebook on a small screen medium or big one, i will bring in liz macdonald, my colleague right hire. is it possible smart screens are getting too smart? >> yeah. it is all about a new burgeoning industry of e-commerce, called t-commerce right now. now estimated 10 billion bucks. what these companies are doing it is basically, lg, amount sung and now vizio which is poiseed to ipo, 172.5 million ipo, they're disclosing they are actually of cours

i stuck by the fact that your book has a quote from sheryl sandberg on the cover whose book generated so much conversation and the question is how women can get ahead. there was a huge, you know, backlash and circles around her statements that women should sort of be willing to embrace and plan their careers and be mothers, but just to think more straightforwardly and away. >> there was controversy but we agree completely. i tell so many personal stories about my children and family and i want young women to be that you don't have to do it perfectly. but you can definitely do it all and prioritize your family in a way where everyone is healthy and happy without sacrificing a hard edge. it might be termed a hard edge toward some. this notion that you have a good job, you cannot rock the vote, don't ask for more money because they're giving you extra time off, that's more valuable to you than a little bit more money. ask for both. ask for a little bit more time off and a little bit more money. i agree with sheryl sandberg about this. >> i'm stuck in the fact is i'm sure that you are tha

sheryl sandberg's a rock star out there. i doubt she would want this kind of gig though.t that was out on the internet, but there are reports of all kinds of things, that google would buy it, even amazon might buy it. who knows, trish? this is a company that was so hot, right? trish: they got the goldman sachs banker to go over there, remember that? to help things out, but he's not helping so much, liz. les les i'll tell you what he isn't going to do, he isn't going to be the ceo. they've made that pretty clear. and as they sit there and wait with jack dorsey who is the interim ceo and one of the founders, very smart guy, he's busy. he's trying to bring his other company, square -- the mobile payments little thing -- he's trying to bring that public. so who's going to get this gig, or will they just outright sell it? i know charlie gasparino and i would argue there was a fumble here, and that was previous management. dick costolo did not do what was truly necessary. he got the nod because -- trish: we are going to see you at the top of the hour, but i've got some breaking

i agree with sheryl sandberg. i think this book is in the vein of lenient aspect i think it is but i'm struck by the fact as i'm sure you are that on the one hand that probably resonates with you, that advice, don't be afraid to sort of take your career in your own hands. on the other hand, when you look at how few women have reached the upper levels of what is american politics, american media, american companies i think we've had five to 7% ceos of major american companies. corporate boards are terrible. women leaders in any position, including journalists, clean politics are low. these are the women who have leaned in. so your account is like the 1% account. what i've been struck by, what i've written about myself is this question of, that still doesn't explain why we have so few women in leadership positions, invisible positions in the senate because there's a broader category and class of women who have leaned in that is category and class of women who have made into these jobs. that's where this extraordinar
