3443...It Was Bound To Happen

Tech Crunch reports that a young man in Egypt decided to name his first born daughter Facebook to commemorate the way the social networking site helped protesters get organized to topple Hosni Mubarak.

Tech Crunch was citing a story in Al-Ahram.

Alexia Tsotsis writes that while the girl could have been called YouTube or Twitter or Google, "It seems like Facebook has become the umbrella symbol for how social media can spread the message of freedom."
