I may have spoken too fast. What I wrote is generally true, but you see, Facebook — like most serious-minded dotcoms — is based in California. And California is the home of the famous/infamous (pick a side) Pruneyard decision.<BR/><BR/>Thanks <BR/>- Sujan from <A HREF="http://www.asiarooms.com/" REL="nofollow">Australia</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8892708975440570426.post-40435263099135883122008-03-20T20:06:00.000-07:002008-03-20T20:06:00.000-07:00I reworked this into very different proposal.I reworked this into <A HREF="http://cfp08.blogspot.com/2008/03/potential-session-proposal-facebook.html" REL="nofollow">very different proposal</A>.jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740980228561158001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8892708975440570426.post-34290960493523267672008-03-18T19:27:00.000-07:002008-03-18T19:27:00.000-07:00On a thread on free-association, Deborah suggested...On a <A HREF="http://free-association.net/index.php?option=com_joomlaboard&func=view&id=107028&catid=1040#107028" REL="nofollow">thread on free-association</A>, Deborah suggested<BR/><BR/><I>Maybe the due process issue could be broadened to include a variety of social networks.<BR/><BR/>Some are better than others.

I made a few minor edits to the proposal, and have sent it out to a few other people as well; we'll see what they say.jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740980228561158001noreply@blogger.com
