Kudos to Facebook
February 27th, 2009 by Jayne WesnerAccording to TechCrunch, Facebook is taking a different approach to their Terms of Service. They are now allowing users to give their input on what they think should be done. Hopefully they will then take the feedback to heart and come up with some Terms of Service the majority will agree with. One thing Facebook founders and users must remember is that you can’t please everyone all the time.
But, this could be a huge opportunity for Facebook to grow even more. If they listen to other Facebook users and rewrite their Terms of Service to suit the needs of the users it will only increase Facebooks ever-growing popularity. People react very highly when they notice their voices being heard and their ideas being used.
For a complete listing of the Facebook Principles, which will help everyone to understand what Facebook is about, click here. While it’s a rather lengthy read, it’s also well worth it. I especially liked their 10th principle: “One World. The Facebook Service should transcent geographic and national boundaries and be available to everyone in the world.”
All I have to say is, great job Facebook. You are officially on the right path.
