  • execution is 9/10ths of the law. as great as connectu's idea was back in the day, it wasn't exactly difficult to conceive or copy. friendster was already out of the bag. if your idea is so great, code it yourself or make the key developers full-fledged partners. looks like connectu is litigating themselves a call option on the work of someone they didn't formally contract or pay. code theft is a legitimate beef. we'll have to await the economic expert testimony on how it translates into equity in fb.
  • They should shut down a lot of child pornography websites not some website where people are meeting they oold buddies and new people...Why they always has to shut down that a lot of people are happy with...Normal people, not some pedophiles who use child pornography websites...Keep the facebook on, shut down the pornography websites!
  • I feel that facebook should not be shut down. I will like ...omg its shouldnt. There are many other child pornography sites to worry about than to focus on something petty like this. Dont Shut facebook down.
  • I really hope that it dose not happen. I have about 20 - 30 friends from 2 diffrent schools that I use to go to school with some I may not have been close friends with but would just say hi from time to time ect. And facebook is my only means to contact them right now. If it were not for facebook and them being on the site I would not have reconnected with them this year or at all.
  • i totally disagree with this whole facebook as it cause to many problems in to many life as there are more and more relationships failing and collapsing due to this, more and more people are using this site for finding old flames and havin affairs which is causing a social down fall in everyday life and it may not be the case with everybody right now but it will be if this site isnt closed down asap
  • I have recently got in touch with old friend that I haven't spoke to in 16 years. Anyway people are going to have affairs weather or not facebook is around we are adults who make our own choices get a grip on reality
  • Honestly I think facebook should be shut down because theres alreayd tons of stupid clubs and blogging on the internet it's not even funny.. if you wnana tlak to a friend use the phone.. If you wnana talk to soemone new use 1 blogging site not a billion..
