Facebook has threatened to sue Mark Zuckerberg, no not the ‘real’ one but an Israeli entrepreneur who recently took the social network founder’s name. The new Zuckerberg, born ‘Rotem Guez’, legally changed his name Dec. 7.

Basically the ‘new’ Zuckerberg’ cofounded Like Store, a social marketing company, which sells companies ‘Likes’ for their brand pages. In September, Facebook’s law firm ‘Perkins Coie’ threatened to sue against the ‘new’ Zuckerberg, claiming the Like Store violated the social network’s Terms of Service, by selling brands fans. The threat instructed the ‘new’ Zuckerberg to shut down his company and never return to the social network for any reason.

Though legally Facebook can, of course, sue someone named Mark Zuckerberg, it makes for quite the funny tale I think but a question does come to mind.

Do you think the ‘new’ Zuckerberg was rediculous to change his name or has he pulled off a brilliant marketing stunt for his startup? Think about it, the amount of media attention he is going to recieve from this will make his site grow like the magic beans Jack had.

Why not give your opinion in my poll below and see what the world thinks of this very funny tale that might become the biggest news for Facebook for some time.
