Yesterday morning I woke up early. Was sitting in the hotel lobby at 7 a. m. trying to check email when someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was Mark Zuckerberg, founder/CEO of Facebook, which now has 68 million active users (people who’ve signed on in the past 30 days).

Damn, ever since Facebook blocked my account for a little less than a day people have been calling me with some real sob stories about how their accounts got turned off by Facebook and that they have no recourse. I seriously don’t know what to do either, but I’m going to collect them all and then write a post.
Facebook is changing their tune to avoid another "Beacon" fiasco: On Monday, Facebook modified its help pages to tell people that if they wanted to remove their accounts entirely, they could e-mail. This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more!
I just received this email. I answer Mike Arrington and several others in a video that now is up at http: www. mogulus. com/robertscoble. UPDATE: In the video I cover a whole bunch of topics and take questions from the live audience that was there when filmed. Also, I told the audience that I am not using any Facebook data outside of Facebook and will delete the test account we used on Plaxo to do the tests.
A tipster notes that if you go to your Facebook page, click on the search box, and then hit the down arrow, up pops a list of the five people who search for your name most often. It seems to work! Although maybe it's just five random people. And maybe you all know this already? In any case, it's something to talk about with nerds.
I’ve been using facebook for about a year. I’ve been adding random people and people who read the site have been adding me. I’ve kept it updated by running a feed to the site on there, I’ve promoted them pretty aggressively on this site in trying to recruit friends. I pretty much sit on it all day and tonight, I tried to login and boom….
So…. It turns out that Caroline D’Amore is the reason I got deleted off Facebook. Her boyfriend’s brother is a dude named Blaise Dipersia who happens to work at Facebook and it was revealed to me that he was the person who disabled my account. I don’t know who this fucker is, I don’t know what he does at Facebook, but he’s clearly high enough on the chain to disable profiles for his friends…what I do know is that this is clearly an abuse of power, where facebook employees over-ride everyday people and side with their family in friends while deleting profiles and I find that to be unethical business practices.
by Charlene Li I just received word from Facebook that they will be making significant changes to Beacon. I've included the full text of their statement below. As you may know, I had a situation with Beacon where information from Overstock was sent to Facebook without my knowledge.
I briefly talked about this during my show last week. About a year ago, I was totally against social networking sites. In fact, I have made fun of them in a post back then. Maybe it was just an anti my space thing. Who knows? But, since then, I've been further exploring and investigating this.
If Facebook wanted more bad blog coverage it couldn’t have done a better job than picking on Robert Scoble, the publicity-seeking blogger. Mr. Scoble was kicked off of Facebook because he used a preview version of a Plaxo service that logged onto his Facebook account to download the names and e-mail addresses of his friends.
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.
In the last 6 months of 2007 Facebook had a good share of my time and we all saw it become a widespread phenomenon. It appeared in mainstream news as a source of facts, it was talked about as the new darling of the Internet and it appeared they could do no wrong. Microsoft invested $250m and it got daily chatter on Techmeme and in VC circles.
It's curious that rumors of a Plaxo sale exploded at the same time that Robert Scoble got his Facebook account suspended using a secret, unreleased tool for extracting data from Facebook. Curious,. This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more!
I had heard there was a 5k friend limit on Facebook. I just didn't take it to heart. Until I reached 5k and tried to add 5001. at which point FB reminded of the limit. It was a weird moment ,but actually one that I have come to respect and appreciate. Facebook went from being a way to broadcast information to 5k people, probably 4k of which I didn't know or even have a business link to, to a platform I either had to take seriously or walk away from.
We are just getting it up and running, but I wanted to post this info and give Facebook users a chance to check it out and email me on facebook with ideas and feedback. Check it out. Here is a link Once i get the time, im going to sell off some of my dupes from my Technology Poster Collection.

There' s a fascinating debate today going on about Scoble and his Facebook data. Here' s the story so far. Plaxo, on behalf of Scoble, ran a screen scraper on his Facebook account to download information about at least some of his Facebook friends. Facebook detected the scraper and turned off his account, with an email explaining that he had violated their terms of service.
Thanks to truly brilliant stream of Auntie P. I’m very late to this, and originally I wasn’t planning to comment on the Scoble-Facebook thingy, (see techmeme) but after seeing James Governor’s deli. cio. us link comment,about Nick Carr’s post, I figured I’d jump in. James said…
