"We think Facebook can apply the same degree of thought they put into the app into building a brand name of their own. An app about stories shouldn’t start with someone else’s story. Facebook should stop using our brand name." - That's just delusional.
- xauronx 13y agoTo be fair, that's kind of what ownership is about. Being first the stick your flag in some common thing and claim it as your own. Like "Salesforce" is a common term, but go ahead and try to make a company/product named that. In the Apple App Store realm, there's really one app named Paper and they probably spend a few bucks (/s) trying to make it a well known name.
- josefresco 13y agoOnwership requires more than "sticking your flag" in something. You need to also execute and build a product, service or entity around that flag otherwise you can't even begin to enforce any "ownership". If you start with a generic name like Paper, it's even harder to enforce.
