Update: Wait! There’s more! Er, a Facebook movie??
Every business law professor should love talking about Facebook. The formation issues; the business model issues; the privacy issues; the IP issues; the list could go on. And now, there’s a movie!!
The Social Network is due out on October 1 and promises to dramatize the origins of Facebook and the legal struggles over that formation. For a brief primer of these issues, here’s Gordon’s post from three years ago. And not to spoil the ending, but the settlement of the case was as protracted and fraught with drama as any in recent history.
I’m of two minds on this
- Is Facebook that good (albeit, 400 million users) to rate a movie
- With no disrespect meant, but are there that few ideas around with which to wrap a movie around? Is this showing "slim pickings"?
================================================
At the RightOnline conference, the majority of the emphasis was not on the speakers but on the workshops – newbie, intermediate, and advanced tracks were offered. While I was still in Bloggers Lounge mode, TMEW went to a couple of the workshops.
This one concerned FaceBook 101 – why it is important, why it can be effective, and how to use the different features.
Speaking of FaceBook, come on over to ours!
