- On Friday, Facebook was awarded $873 million in damages against Adam Guerbuez and Atlantis Blue Capital under the CAN-SPAM act for mass-spamming the Facebook ecosystem.
- Facebook most likely will never see most of this money, so the judge placed further restrictrions on the culprates. The judge has issued a permanent injunction against “using or accessing, whether directly or indirectly, Facebook’s data, information, computers, computer systems, computer networks, or Facebook user’s accounts, information or profiles for any reason whatsoever.”
- The injunction is a joke. I guarantee the spamming was resulting in a low to nothing conversion rate on whatever credit scam they were running at Atlantis Capital. The judge should have placed an injunction against all forms of online advertising for one year. That includes AdWords, Email blasts, Facebook ads, MySpace ads, etc. Spam should not be taken lightly in this day and age. We really just need one spammer to get the death penalty. What’s a little capital punishment to save the world? I’m kidding, but when does the spam stop?

- Upgrade to Profile 2.0 and have the ability to customize your profile layout without the need for HTML or code pasting.
- You can also protect certain parts of your page by hiding you age, comments, videos, etc. from others.
- There are plenty of profile editing websites out there not happy about this switch. It took MySpace so long to do it, who would have thought they would roll it out now?

- Starting in November, printer friendly pages will be available on Myspace thanks to handsome sponsorship fund from HP.
- With the crummy Myspace navigation out of the way users will now be able to better see on the printed page, all the crap that’s cluttering their profiles.

- Ignighter and Mixtt are both social networks aimed at connecting groups of friends in their cities.
- Users create a profile for their entourage where they can share social plans and find other groups of friends to connect with.
- Both sites wants to connect groups of friends for group dating, band jamming, clubbing, sports and whatever else it is that groups do ; )
- Ignighter launched today at the TechStars demo day (the incubator VC that backed them), and Mixtt launched at the TechCrunch 50 not long ago.
- Is there room for one of these companies on the internet, let alone two? I think they should use their service to set up a group date to talk about their future.
