I was scanning the image directory where Facebook keeps all the “gifts” they release, and there were a few that haven’t made it into production yet. One of them, was this icon of Mark Zuckerberg with the text “2004-2007″. Facebook started in 2004 so I can only assume that this might be on the servers in anticipation of Zuckerberg (Facebook’s founder) leaving the company in the very near future.
There have been rumours swirling about Zuckerberg selling Facebook for years, but this might be the first “credible” sign that the man we have grown to love (and have gotten used to seeing in our upper-left corner) is hanging up his poking finger.
But before you leave, Mark Zuckerberg, could you please confirm my friend request? 
I’m guessing it’s in reference to the absense of Mark’s face in the Facebook redesign. I could be wrong, but it’s probably nothing too significant.

That’s a good point, maybe that’s all it is
Or the redesign is getting rid of his face because he’s leaving… Depends how much of a conspiracy theorist you are 
He’s leaving because the redesign doesn’t have his picture because he’s leaving because….
the icon is not mark.
Who is it? Omg, all these years of thinking Mark Zuckerberg himself was watching me Facebook! “Damn you, cruel world!”
Actually, I would totally believe that “anon” poster. He works at Facebook, according to his IP at least
Maybe it was Mark himself. All hail, Mark Zuckerberg! Please, praise us with your golden light! Have I been a good Facebooker, Mark. Have I? Have I made you proud, Mark Zuckerberg? 
I am not Mark, but I have been watching you Jonathan… I am the real guy in the upper left.
I always suspected I was being watched. Will you accept my friend request?
btw, my girlfriend thinks your hot. I’m not even joking. It’s a bit of a problem.
Well, actually the guy in the upper left doesn’t really exist at all – so you don’t have to worry about your gf running off.
Hurrah! Way to take down the offending gift image too, btw
Are you here to steal my WhyYouShould secrets? I will die before I talk…Well, it would take at least a free Coke. But not a can, one of the fancy-assed bottles. Yah, that’s the stuff
I think that gift was made in honor of the retired former Facebook icon.
