Actually Facebook tends to be quite responsive. They have a general press Email address that goes to something like ten PR people, so it isn't unusual to get a response within ten minutes (or at least a note saying that someone is looking into the issue).
- tsally 17y agoAh, then I understand where you were coming from. Definitely did not know that when I made my original comment. :)
- dc2k08 17y agoThe TC post does hint at a serious motive for the prank though. ...And something else about teaching us to contact them before posting.
- arithmetic 17y agoI love the fact that the feature (of faxing photos) actually works. Telling sign of true geeks.
- rhodin 17y agoYeah quite cool, hope they'll roll out this feature for all of us!
- jacquesm 17y agoThe Facebook/TechCrunch litmus test of feature design: - come up with crazy ass feature - implement in the minimal possible way - enable feature for techcrunch network only - see if they write about it - check comments on techcrunch - response bad -> yank feature, nobody the wiser, response positive -> implement feature by pulling an all nighter.
- jacquesm 17y agoAnd everybody else. I figure that pulling a TechCrunch will go down in to history as 'getting an online publication to write something terribly wrong to teach them a lesson about journalism and fact checking'. Let's see how long it takes before someone else pulls a stunt like this on TC. Hair trigger journalism.
