  • Facebook Finally Calls Meeting on Privacy Strategy « Black Web 2.0 – I guess when you have over 400 million users you can afford to be arrogant – as Facebook is clearly demonstrating. Yes, there has been a flurry of news about people closing their accounts, but this represents a fraction of a percent of the total user base. I think the whole privacy thing is lost on the majority of users, not helped by the unnecessarily complex settings on Facebook. However, continued bad press like this – warranted or not – is not doing the company any good. That other company that 'does no evil' must be loving every minute of this!
