too short, for all that effort just use a sentence with a symbol and a number.

FacebookCanGoToHell!123 is more secure and easy to remember

    Youre going to memorize a unique sentence for each service?

    A method like this allows you to memorize only 4 words of arbitrary length, a number, and a simple algorthm to yield unique passwords for each service.

    Yeah putting the name of the service in the passphrase is actually pretty secure, unless the rest of the password is like "thisisapasswordforFACEBOOK" cause then one password gets leaked and the rest can be inferred.
