Skift Take
We don't know much about Mark Zuckerberg's home life, but he's got troubles at Facebook Home. Even ardent Facebook users apparent want Facebook to dominate their smartphone home screens.
The reviews are in: Facebook Home, Mark Zuckerberg’s grandiose stab at totally controlling our mobile experience, is an unmitigated disaster.
On Wednesday, AT&T announced that it was dropping the price of the HTC First smartphone, which comes with Facebook Home built in, from $99 to 99 cents. Think about that: a new smartphone, priced to jump off the shelves at Dollar General. It’s a great deal, but it is also hugely embarrassing for Zuckerberg.
