But Weblo?s chief executive Rocky Mirza says that people should be able to sell space on their pages on Facebook (and a variety of other sites like MySpace and YouTube) because they are the content creators on those sites. Facebook would have no content if not for its users, he said, which makes it different from media organizations, for example, that have content because they pay reporters.

As follow-up to Ben's look at Facebook's Beacon system, I began investigating the extent of its privacy implications. What I found is extremely disconcerting. Facebook is collecting information about user actions on affiliate sites regardless of whether or not the user chose to opt out, and regardless of whether or not the user is logged into Facebook at that time. The evidence I present below directly contradicts both public statements made by Facebook, and direct email correspondence from their privacy department, demonstrating that Beacon is a serious threat to user privacy.

A roundup of reasons for Facebook account disabling. Most are reasonable, but they seem to hold the Orwellian policy of shutting members down for policy violations that they then turn to say they are 'not at liberty to discuss'.

Long article, page 2 most interesting: "Zuckerberg saw that if he could successfully map the social graph, he'd create a powerful new model of communication ? *a giant word-of-mouth engine*. Imagine if, every time you logged on, you weren't greeted by NYTimes.com or even a Google News like aggregator, but a collection of headlines and blog postings, written or handpicked by your closest friends and relatives. Instead of information spreading hub-and-spoke like from major media outlets, it would flow to consumers the way it does at a dinner party, through people they know and trust. The result, Zuckerberg says, is that "it may no longer be optimal to have a few big media companies in the center controlling the flow of information."" Saved By: martinv | View Details | Give Thanks
