It's a great idea but I would expect a letter from Facebook's lawyers regarding the use of the name 'Facebook' in your product (you use the API, so that's against their terms of use) and the use of their logo in your logo. Good luck!
- lubos 16y agoI think that's actually the point. when evil big company threatens to destroy little guy, it always makes great headlines regardless who is right and before you blink, he will be selling thousands of posters a day.
- gregpilling 16y agoSince you are likley to get a C&D, I would prepare with an alternate domain name and a list of bloggers who are anti-facebook. Calcanis comes to mind. Send out a press release about the C&D, how FB is trying to control users images, and all the privacy/control of content issues. Once the media storm has whipped itself into a frenzy, then announce the new website name and redirect the original.
- thenduks 16y agoI guess you're getting downvoted because of the 'ethically questionable' suggestions you're making. Strictly in terms of making profit, I think you're spot on.
- benjaminlotan 16y agogood call! do you know about putting out a press release? also let me know if you think of any more anti-facebook blogs. Thanks for the input :)
