      Didn’t he steal the idea for Facebook from the Winkelvoss (sp?) twins anyway? With instagram already successful when fb bought it, that would make the turd that is Meta the only thing he MIGHT have come up with himself…

        Is Meta the Metaverse thing? because 3D chat rooms and hang out games have been a thing since long before people started calling it the mEtAvErSe and yet people are (or at least were) acting like its the future

          Good point. I wouldn’t be that surprised if his “own” skeleton was stolen from someone else, just with the spine removed for extra profitability at the expense of integrity.

          Ok, maybe a little, but you know what I mean 😉

        The funny thing is, The Facebook was originally MySpace, except you couldn’t configure the look of your page and you couldn’t have autoplaying music. So the original sell was “MySpace but not obnoxious.” That was a decent enough sell, but then they removed the requirement to have a university email address to register, and it was straight downhill from there.

        But this was also the time of shit like Live Journal, so this sorta thing was on the tip of everyone’s tongue anyway.
