"Facebook is fast becoming the MySpace of this generation."

True, that's why they bought WhatsApp, Instagram, Occulus, and so.

Mark Zuckerberg knows that FB is dead.

I can see it now. "Facebook reorganizes and parent company will be called Appbook."

Alphabook, surely.

My money is on tomorrowbook, quite literally

Did you buy that domain name or something?

A long time ago, but not seriously bc I was banking on such a notion, it was pre iPad/tablet days and I had delusions of grandeur...also I admit I shamelessly tried to make it available to FB in an attempt to pay off my law school loans (haha delusions of granuder).

Good domain name, maybe a bit long though.

Back when Palm was up for sale, I was hoping beyond hope that Facebook would take an interest in getting into the hardware business (this is back when they were pushing for Facebook-specific app development more), decide to buy a phone manufacturer, and choose Palm, renaming the company in the process to FacePalm.

That was perhaps a bit too much to hope for.
