I don't think there are any problems with it from a legal standpoint. I just feel that it's a good example of how Facebook is trying to build a walled garden of content.
- natrius 16y agoWalled garden? You don't have to log in to see those pages, so I don't get it.
- gamache 16y agoAt best, what you see is as useful as a Google cache of the Wikipedia page. It is non-editable, and quite possibly out of date compared to the actual content. Its only purpose is to encourage communities -- er, sorry, I mean to mine a new vein of customer information to sell upstream.
- natrius 16y agoThe pages make other parts of Facebook more useful. Before these pages, you had to Google people's interests to find out what they were if you didn't already know, and if the results were ambiguous, you'd have to do something crazy like actually ask the person directly. Now interests are well-defined. Sure, the solution they picked gives them ulterior SEO benefits, but to compare it to Mahalo and suggest that it's useless doesn't make any sense.
