Ask HN: If you could rebrand Facebook, what would it be?
- elmerfud 5y agoI would call it My Tribe. That way it would reflect its impact on society.
- kleer001 5y agoThat was kinda a thing. Tribe.net , it was glorious when it was at its peak. I met so many friends and acquaintances and lovers and great ideas there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe.net https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe.net

- themodelplumber 5y agoROT, Rejected Over Transparency. (Saw that in a news headline about FB today) Fully embrace non-transparent psychology of the founder. Logo should be pretty metal, if not totally vicious looking. Reverse everybody's psychology. Don't play up improvements. Play everything down. Joke around. Get Zuckerberg wearing pajamas again. Without this kind of simple attention to indulgence IMO the leadership culture at FB will just get fake and passive-aggressive anyway. Nothing else is really in their blood where a public interface is concerned. And tech can't sell itself without some kind of differentiator today. That differentiator needs to be the opposite of normal corp-sounds. From this more authentic stance, become the umbrella under which new and interesting tech is nurtured. Due to the reversed psychology, corporate leadership will feel a benign pressure to surprise people. And the result of THAT will be more transparency.

- mikewarot 5y agoI'd refactor it. Offer a subscription service with zero ads, and an actual help desk. Offer the users a chance to be the customer instead of the product, at $5/household. In Facebook Prime, you'd get your feed with no sidebars eating up the screen.
