Facebook illuminati secret Mission Statement Seal 2010

To much media fanfare, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg removed his signature hoodie at D8 conference Wednesday, revealing a strange Illuminati-like diagram printed on the blue silk lining. Interviewer Kara Swisher took one look at the bizarre garment and remarked, "What are you in, some kind of cult?"
The notion of some sort of secret seal struck a chord with the D8 audience -- and raises larger questions: The image is impossible to find on any open Facebook marketing materials, or online at all. When contacted by SF Weekly, the official channels at Facebook held that they had no details on the insignia, despite the fact that they could have just written it off on an over-enthusiastic design team.

Using blown-up photos from the conference, we created a mock-up of Zuckerberg's "Mission Statement Seal" hoodie. The design itself represents the three key parts of Facebook's strategy for 2010 (hence the 2010 in the middle):

•The bi-directional arrows indicate that each part generates inbound and outbound sharing;

•The labels on the arrows -- GRAPH, here represented by the "friend requests" icon, STREAM, represented by the "messages" icon and PLATFORM, represented by the "notifications" icon -- represent the three prongs of Facebook's strategy for 2010, as revealed at F8 conference;

•The blue ring is the interface or Facebook's wall around user data --
the permeability of which remains a major point of controversy;

•The motto on the upper half of the blue ring,"Making the world more open and connected" is, according to Zuckerberg, Facebook's obviously unofficial "Mission Statement."

If the logo was an open piece of marketing fodder, it would just be discounted as a silly Illuminati-looking logo, on par with the Facebook quail. It's also easy to write this off as Harvard attendee Zuckerberg being a little too keen on secret society machinations. And we are sure conspiracy theorists will try to decipher this, remarking on how the intersects of the arrows produce a slightly off-kilter Star of David in the center.

True Story:

Last year I went to a job interview. I was told by the interviewer that the company monitors all facebook and twitter feeds of their employees, not only to see who is on while working but also an employee can be fired for "negative" updates and tweets.

I told the lady I did not post on facebook and twitter, and pretty much walked out of the interview after that.

I saw where "facist-book" and "shitter" were going a long time ago....just turn on the mainstream media and try not to hear those 2 words...

The irony is 6 years ago people who had "myspace" accounts were accused of being dumb and mocked by the media, now your mocked for not being on "facebook"
