Facebook uses Twitter Bootstrap

On a more general note, is anyone else tired of seeing "X uses Y" posts? It feels more and more that, in the Valley, namedropping is a way to ensure your own relevance, whether you're a business or a landing page or a person, and I'm getting tired of these appeals to popularity.

"X - the Y for something" is even more annoying. Example from first page: "EasyPost - the Stripe for postage"

While I understand the annoyance, how else could you convey what "the Stripe for postage" says in such a short, succinct way?

"EasyPost - A well-designed postage API"?

I'm pretty much 100% sure Facebook is not name-dropping Twitter.

Yeah, but OP is.

I can't say I understand what point the OP is trying to make, but I don't think it's what you're implying.
