I can't wait until this is implemented into GitHub! Then I can really code socially! /s

Any relation to Mark Zuckerberg?

It was a joke based on Facebook's attempts to clone Snapchat's features by adding stories to Instagram and Whatsapp.

HAH! Seriously though, it is weird having three identical-looking Stories features that don't show the same data, despite being linked to my FB account (can't speak for WhatsApp as I don't use it).

Instagrams keeps getting new (and weirdly cutesy) new features like stickers and stuff

"Keeps getting" They're copying snapchat features wholesale. If you want a glimpse of what feature they'll release next month just take a look at snapchat of today.

Can someone please ask Mr. Zuckerberg to use his powers for good pls

He did give $75 million to a hospital serving poor, elderly people, uninsured working families, and immigrants. So he's not all bad.

WoW even in death he is a busy guy

Love that project, but that evergreen buildbadge with the Volkswagen logo is just gold.

But he's making the world more "open and connected!" (by bringing internet to third world countries and restricting them to his website...)

I suppose one could make the world more connected by simply shackling everyone

As someone who doesn't use snapchat nor instagram, the stories feature on Facebook mobile and Messenger is really confusing. It seems to have come from nowhere and is just in my way. I'm afraid to click on it.

I still have no idea what it is or what it does. Someone told me it's this feature, "Stories," but what does that mean? Does it have something to do with those text-on-gradient images that have been popping up? Like a status update but on top of some colors?

I was checking the code and.... getStoryMorningGlory = function(what) { //my wife told me to stop singing Wonderwall. I SAID MAYBE. https://github.com/ramon82/zuck.js/blob/master/zuck.js#L807

If they'd have referenced Sally, I'd have totally have been on board.

hahahaha I really thought to mention that Sally could wait!
