Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will make an appearance on network television Tuesday to flog a new tool his company is introducing that it says "has the power to save lives." At the moment, what the tool will be is still a mystery, but Zuckerberg's schedule is not. He'll appear in a "Good Morning America" segment aired from Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California, where he'll be interviewed by Robin Roberts. Later in the day, the COO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, will appear on ABC's evening news program to be interviewed by Diane Sawyer about the new life-saving initiative by the social network. Portions of the interviews will also be featured Tuesday on “Nightline" and ABC News and Yahoo’s “Newsmakers" series as well as ABCNews.com, ABC News Radio and ABC NewsOne, ABC said.

Maybe they're closing Facebook.

its the dislike button

I assume it's a way to notify authorities about suicide attempts quicker.

[Papercuts]

All those pictures with thousands of likes to save cancer will finally work!

[Hoo-doo]

Maybe it posts on your wall whenever you are having a stroke, so the paramedics in your friendslist can come to your aid.

[Izick]

Having some kind of built-in emergency system seems like it'd build lawsuits, so I'm guessing they're going to raise money for charity or something.

They're giving total access to all governments and corporations.

You fool. That's how you END lives.

[Genesis Knight]

Maybe some sort of suicide watch button. "GenesisKnight and 10 others have put you on a suicide watch." That would come in handy during E3 keynote presentations.

I think we have a winner here.

This is Facebook, not Google.

Zuckerberg will go on Good Morning America, camera pans to a close up of his face. A creepy smile slowly grows on his face and he says "Gotcha Suckas!" and then Facebook goes to blue screen and you slowly see all your information disappear and a giant banner on Television screens and Computer screens showing the download of all the info into a giant government database and then the helicopters start flying and picking up anyone who's committed a crime that they've admitted to through facebook.

GAME OVER.

All messages ever sent on Facebook suddenly now become publicly readable.

Society ends by nightfall.

Zuckerburg: "Oops, I said save lives? Silly me."

pictures of funny cats built directly into facebook to cheer up billions.

[cashman]

I literally just deleted my account. I still have 14 days though, maybe if it's actually worth it...


so probably not

[SamVimes]

They're gonna put an image of a guy performing an Heimlich maneuver on someone choking on a lobster.

Is it going to be Folding@home stuff?

[Copernicus]

Is it going to be Folding@home stuff?

It'd definitely put all those $2000 Facebook machines to use.

[Enco]

Is it going to be Folding@home stuff?

That would be pretty sweet.

[Phenomic]

Could it be something similar to Folding at Home? Would that even work on something like Facebook?

*edit* Beaten... evidently pretty badly.

[Scullibundo]

Walking clock.

[Futureman]

My guess is that maybe it's something similar to Kickstarter, but instead of funding creative projects, it will be for building a community center in Cleveland, fixing up a basketball court in Sacramento, etc.

I dunno.

[tfur]

Facebook gun.

[neptunes]

Something that will prevent suicides is my guess. Or an easier way to give to charities?

[Borgnine]

I didn't realize Zuckerberg was being held against his will?

[Copernicus]

Maybe it has to do with SNOPA?

(im just kidding, just wanted to post the article)

Organ donor status

This is my assumption as well. A suicide button for when you're feeling really fucked up.

[zomaha]

For a split second I thought Tool was releasing their new album exclusively on Facebook. Disappointed.

But yeah, I'm speculating it's something to do with contacting authorities on someone that's suicidal.

Facebook in organ donation push

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-17893456

Initially, similar partnerships will be launched in the US, Australia and the Netherlands. Facebook then hopes to widen the scheme to other countries.

[Computer]

They're shutting down Facebook?

[NoRéN]

All those pictures with thousands of likes to save cancer will finally work!

Why would anyone want to save cancer?

[Deadstar]

Eh.....read "Facebook to release Tool" and thought it was about the new album.

[Help Me!]

Eh.....read "Facebook to release Tool" and thought it was about the new album.

Just came in to post this! Then I was going to call Maynard a Hooker with a Penis.

[andycapps]

Probably some kind of location tracking update so you can see where all your friends are.

[Sp3eD]

It's just an advertisement basically that you are an organ donor in your info? Not that revolutionary...
