Funny that not even Facebook devs bothered to change the colours to use the FB brand blue. Twitter Bootstrap slowly becomes synonym to "basic unstyled webpage".

it looks like they have to me? The header bar is using #333333 just like facebook.com does.

If "basic unstyled webpage" is now bootstrap, then the world is a better place.

This reminded me of https://github.com/ckrack/fbootstrapp. Too bad development stopped.

I just got a good laugh out of it, and thought others might too. It's certainly not meant to be a bash at Facebook.

On a more general note, is anyone else tired of seeing "X uses Y" posts? It feels more and more that, in the Valley, namedropping is a way to ensure your own relevance, whether you're a business or a landing page or a person, and I'm getting tired of these appeals to popularity.

The top bar and the left side is still from Facebook, Bootstrap is used within an iframe that's actually the whole main column.
