New Patent Changes Social Media
February 27, 2010
Facebook on Tuesday was awarded a patent for a social network news feed, setting the stage for a future battle with its social networking peers over similar technologies.
The patent is specifically for “dynamically providing a news feed about a user of a social network” and effectively grants Facebook the opportunity to pursue other social networks who it deems are infringing on the company’s patent.
In my opinion, this is a amazing ruling. Just think of what could result from this patent.
