Admittedly I know nothing of imvu.com, or the incident of the person's face being removed from the Facebook site.<BR/><BR/>Here is what I <EM>do know</EM>:<BR/><BR/>1. Entities like networking sites & MLM companies are "for profit" utilities. They are <EM>not offering the service for nothing</EM>.<BR/><BR/>2. Most such entities have <EM>no clue</EM> what it really takes for us to build the relationships that drive our businesses.<BR/><BR/>3. Because of #1 & #2 the people who operate these entities have different views of what is "ethical & proper".<BR/><BR/>As for your disclaimer idea, you can try it, but I believe there is a better way ...<BR/><BR/>I would beat the drum among those Facebookers that are discontented with this action until the company "sees the light" & makes a fair & reputable change.<BR/><BR/>Remember, <EM>we</EM> are the one's that give such entities their reason for living.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate you,<BR/><BR/>Bill TessoreBill Tessorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00169973578255970497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730206266868106277.post-1082238854497295112009-02-23T20:34:00.000-08:002009-02-23T20:34:00.000-08:00Hi Bill,I just recently joined, probably a couple ...Hi Bill,<BR/><BR/>I just recently joined, probably a couple months back, with Facebook, and had heard on G4 (a tech and gaming television station) that they'd done some weird thing with their TOS, but wasn't sure what it was -was only partially paying attention- and had also in that segment, heard they'd pulled an about face on that. Have you heard anything of that?<BR/><BR/>Good article by the way. The way it reads to me, is that while I have the right to do so, it doesn't mean I have to do so. <BR/><BR/>If I have the right to do so, I also have the right to tell them hands off. I guess I'd have to actually put such a disclaimer on any content I actually submitted to the site, so they can't state their TOS demands it's "Facebook Domain", so to speak.<BR/><BR/>In any case, there's another site, that I socially network through, called imvu.com (a 3D chat environment site, with home pages like myspace, but much more customizable) and they were trying to do things with their TOS that actually made it a "contract of adhesion", which is like a forced contract that actually would have no legal bearing, because no one with any sensible reasoning would agree to it.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if that applies. It might not in Facebook's case, because the site is different than IMVU, where-as IMVU essentially provides its users with a business model, in that they can become content creators. <BR/><BR/>Facebook really doesn't have any such built in end-user business model, which users might wind up getting "locked into" in order to provide their primary income.<BR/><BR/>In IMVU's case, there are lots of Developers that utilize their content creation to provide their primary income.<BR/><BR/>So to tell them "agree or leave" puts them in a "contract of adhesion" situation, whereby to leave, it actually impinges upon their primary income at that point.<BR/><BR/>I hope this is making sense. In any case, I don't agree with Facebook doing something like that, really. <BR/><BR/>In any case, this has gotten long enough. I do agree that in business, I believe that integrity, and ethical behavior should take priority. Perhaps the Facebook team needs to take a cue from the "cluetrain manifesto".<BR/><BR/>Be well Bill.<BR/><BR/> JamieJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371094133271967634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730206266868106277.post-22488415665157615742009-02-06T15:56:00.000-08:002009-02-06T15:56:00.000-08:00Hi Kyle,Yes it really is rather comical about the ...Hi Kyle,<BR/><BR/>Yes it really is rather comical about the $32 in Mr. Bell's cup.<BR/><BR/>It really is <EM>all about perception</EM>.<BR/><BR/>If people don't perceive what we offer is of great value, then little return is what they give us.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate you,<BR/><BR/>Bill TessoreBill Tessorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00169973578255970497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730206266868106277.post-44349093822085106112009-02-06T15:42:00.000-08:002009-02-06T15:42:00.000-08:00Hi Wendy,Thanks for your comment.
