Facebook Was Just Born!!!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or optimizing a PPC campaign from your parent’s basement, you have heard of the chaos that took place in Egypt. One of the reasons the citizens were able to come together and revolt was from the social networking website, Facebook. Now, one man, Gamal Ibrahim, has named his daughter…. FACEBOOK. He is said to have done this to express his joy in what took place. I think it’s great that the county was able to stand up for what they believed in and utilized today’s technology to form peaceful protests and make a difference. As for the baby naming, I think I’ll let you decide for yourself, but in America, we do have babies named after fruit, landmarks, animals and other unique objects. So, I say, great! If this man and his family feel such a connection to the company then do as you feel, however, does he have to worry about trademarking rights?
