the reason i like facebook is this site can find my old friends.. and i like "tag photos" section.. that makes my photo more than 1300, even photos that i don;t have..
and now facebook is much much better than friendster, i never activate friendster again.. it's sucks
if they would have just left Facebook the way it was 3 years ago, everything would be fine.... it was perfect when only college students were allowed.... but then they had to allow all the teeny boppers in (that's what myspace is for), let adults in (which I guess is ok), added all these stupid applications, changed the format, etc. It was perfect as a social network for college students.
i don't have anything on facebook other than a picture... and i didn't even create that my friends are retarded they created it so they would have more friends
It appears in the wake of global attention and outcry, Facebook has, as of at least 12:27 am, reverted back to the previous Terms of Service. Phew, now we can all go back to sending each other digital cupcakes without Big Brother watching us. This is a temporary move until Facebook can draft a new Terms of Service that addresses the users' concerns. CEO Zuckerberg wrote a new blog post, and Facebook spokesperson Barry Schnitt released this statement:

Hi everyone,
First, I want to apologize for the delay in response. It's been a long day with lots of interesting and constructive discussions. Second, I want to thank you for your questions and concerns. As Mark expressed in his blog post on Monday, it was never our intention to confuse people or make them uneasy about sharing on Facebook. I also want to be very clear that Facebook does not, nor have we ever, claimed ownership over people's content. Your content belongs to you.
We do need certain licenses in order to facilitate the sharing of your content through our service. That's where the Terms of Use come in. The fact that you've raised the questions you have is proof that we haven't done a good job explaining these licenses in the actual language of the document. In fact, as we were working to answer your questions, we realized the new version of the Terms might technically permit some of the hypothetical situations people have offered. I can assure you, however, that these hypotheticals aren't ones we had in mind when writing the Terms, and that selling user information for profit or using it to advertise Facebook in some way was never part of our original intent. Assurances aren't enough, though, and we plan to codify this in our revised Terms through simple language that defines Facebook's rights much more specifically.
In the meantime, we've decided to revert to the old Terms as we work to address this. Mark has explained this in more detail in another blog post (http://blog.facebook.com), and we've created a group where people can provide input (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=69048030774). We hope you'll join this group and post comments. We promise to use these comments to help construct a new Terms of Use that reflects the principles around how people share and control their information, and that's written clearly in language everyone can understand.
I hope you don't think your participation in this discussion was a waste of time. Honestly, your questions were very helpful to us in arriving at what we believe is the right decision. Also, I think your questions will continue to be useful as we're crafting a new Terms.
Again, thanks for the fruitful discussion and a special thanks to Anne Katherine and Julius for setting up this feedback forum. We hope you'll all join our "Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities" ( http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=69048030774 ) group and continue discussing these issues there.
and i didn't even create that my friends are retarded
