Zuck says Steve Jobs inspired Facebook’s new organ donor tool

The internet went abuzz yesterday as Facebook's Zuckerberg dropped hints of a new feature said to "save lives".

Turns out the Facebook co-founder and CEO was speaking literally: today, the social network unveiled a new tool aptly named Organ Donor.

It's basically a way of letting anyone identify their organ donor status on their Facebook Timeline. The move should help over 114,000 people waiting for transplants in the United States alone.

Zuck also said it was inspired by late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who underwent a liver transplant in 2009 and later that year publicly urged WWDC attendees to become organ donors...
