Facebook A Bigger Thief Than Scoble

Even though Robert Scoble has been readmitted to the walled garden of Facebook and forgiven for his scraping, Facebook commits the same offense against other sites.

Terms of Use - What Envelopes are Being Pushed?

Quite a major kerfuffle has developed in the past 24 hours over Facebook booting Robert Scoble out of the social network. Facebook sent him an email that accused him of running an automated script which is in violation of Facebook’s terms of use.

Scoble Was Testing Plaxo Pulse Feature

OK, so I’ve been released from my NDA. I was alpha testing an upcoming feature of Plaxo Pulse — this feature has not yet been released and now that my account has gotten shut down it’s not clear whether it will be released. It is a Facebook importer that works just like any other address book importer. What does it collect? Names and email address and birthday. Why those? Because it’s trying to connect Facebook names with names in its database.
