Facebook Wants To Own Idea Of Crowdsourced Translations
- mtpark 17y agoMissing from the title is that this is restricted for social networks only (or at least that's my read of it). If it were for general cases, passing this patent would be highly disturbing.
- benatkin 17y agoMany web applications can be considered social networks. Restricting it to social networks wouldn't help me rest much easier.
- rizzn 17y agoGood luck with this quest. Hi5 has been pioneering this concept for ages.
