Is this true? I never heard of Facebook being seeded with other site's data.
I also don't see how Google could have even made use of a raw dump of any other site's data at the time. They would need to crawl the sites anyway to fill out their PageRank data. Do you have a citation that says differently?
- va_coder 16y agoAs far as facebook: No one would have heard of facebook if not for facemash As far as Google: One person's raw dump of data is someone else's valueable copyrighted material. I could argue grabbing Google "raw dump" of bytes and presenting it my way is unique and original. It's not black and white as you seem to think.
