Many ReComers who are in US have a Facebook account, and rapidly many others elsewhere have a Facebook account too.
It was a site developed since early 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, and it is poised for a takeover by Yahoo! or other companies. It is a site similar to friendster, except that it has much more personal information of college graduates, high school students, as well as employees of major multinational companies.
Yahoo! has offered USD1 billion for the company. What is ReComers opinion on this? Facebook has been hitting the headlines quite often lately, especially on many of the changes in the site, where others get to see what changes you make with your account, like adding a friend etc. Is that privacy infringement? Is the privacy control in place now sufficient?
Any thoughts on facebook?
On the Yahoo! offer, you can just google it, or read it at this News (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4281)
