Facebook backs down, reverses on user information policy

Looks like they made a big boo boo. You think they'll recover?

(CNN) -- Under fire from tens of thousands of users, the social networking site Facebook said early Wednesday it is reverting to its old policy on user information -- for now.

The site posted a brief message on users' home pages that said it was returning to its previous "Terms of Use" policy "while we resolve the issues that people have raised." FULL STORY (http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/02/18/facebook.reversal/index.html)

It always helps when CNN grabs a story ... with 24 hours of air time every day I'm sure companies like Facebook cringe when their stories are being repeated three or four times an hour.

well... that certainly didn't take long.

for what it's worth any of the online polls that i saw on this topic were massively against the new policy.

I bet they are laughing all the way to the bank, after all it is showing them listening to their members and doing the right thing. I would LOVE to get any of my sites put out on CNN for even one story!!!
