Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg meets excited Russian prime minister

Tech-loving Dmitry Medvedev barely able to contain delight at meeting, which prompted anger from Russian bloggers

Zuckerberg was in Moscow to boost Facebook's presence in Russia, where it competes with local social networking sites. He was also due to attend a programming symposium in a bid to attract Russians to work for his firm.

Zuckerberg did not meet Vladimir Putin, Russia's powerful president, who claims he does not use the internet.
