Facebook needs a slap in the face.

I dropped the joint because they cannot keep ANYTHING private. No matter how private you mark your stuff, your information can be read and posted to another web-site without your permission and, quite obviously, without Facebook caring.

F**k facebook.

Well, will wonders never cease! Mark Zuckerberg stole the idea of Facebook from a couple of his college buddies! Mark--go sit in a corner with your thinking cap on.

Mark Zuckerberg needs to grow up. It is true that your info on Facebook is not private. Marky boy seems to be more concerned with selling you out for the ad revenue. He is totally immature. And, yes, he did in fact take the concept of Facebook from two other college buddies. so who is the real thief here??!!

Hopefully the bullies at Facebook will be taught a lesson by the teachers at Teachbook!

If they intend to sue over "book' then I can't wait till they sue the DoD for milbook.

If they don't sue the DoD over milbook they lose their opportunity to claim book as a trademark. You have to defend it from everybody who uses the term "book" as part of their website name. You don't get the option to pick and choose who you sue.

So... They're gonna sue Teachbook, a site that helps teachers communicate with each other and parents.

What about F*ckbook? The site filled with psycos and sex adicts, perverts, and possibly pedofiles. Are they gonna sue them, too?

The very idea of claiming "book" as a trademark is ludicrous.

Funny... and Facebook is a rip off of Myspace. And Linked In is a rip off of Facebook. Who gives a @!$%# already?

This sort of crap is ridiculous. What about checkbook? Yearbook? Cookbook? They can't take the name and the format is different than Facebook so those whiney ass losers should just shut the @!$%# up, move the @!$%# over and learn how to share like grown-ups.

Facebook just needs to give some of its users another reason to delete their accounts.  Is that what they want?  For their company to be seen as a group of arrogant bullies?  Leave the teachers alone.

About as ridiculous as Wal-mart going after K-mart? This is just one more instance of needless lawsuits. Facebook is only going to alienate more of their subscribers. But then Facebook isn't in the business to make friends, just more money.

What about cook book?

and note book?

and address book?

Etc. book.....

I gotta book....cya.....

Oh Good Grief!!! they copyrighted "Book"?

What I think would be funny is to see Betty Crocker(?) cookbook come in and sue facebook over the word book. Of course facebook could always dial up 1-800-CRY-BABY.........

They sue yellow book, or schools that sell textbooks, if i was teachbook, i would countersue for harrassment and filing a frivolous lawsuit for millions of dollars. bet they dropped the suit.

Facebook continues to block millions of its users for requesting friends that were suggested to them by the facebook site itself. They also block users for sending too many messages and they delete accounts whom continually "misuse" the site features. When you add "too many" friends the send you an automated message calling you annoying and abusive for "misusing" their site features. Many FB games require a certain amount of friends to advance in the game. These games and app. companies pay premiums to facebook for advertising then facebook blocks users for adding new friends and sending too many messages . If you ask me not only is it hypocritical but also counter productive for FB to continue these practices. It proves the staff at FB obviously have alot of growing up to do.

My boyfriend refers to it as twofacebook.

Cook books don't apply... those are actually BOOKS!

I'll admit I don't know how or why Facebook uses BOOK anyway, but yeah.... Teachbook DOES sound like a rip off of Facebook, and I think they'd have a case. It sounds like some kind of 'spinoff' and if they have no affiliation with Facebook, then Facebook has a right to not want anyone to THINK they're associated.

On a seperate note... If I was still a student, I'd be VERY concerned about the idea of an "online Gradebook to record, calculate and share grades with parents." Somethings do not belong online, and that kind of information is Too close to being public knowledge.

Especially if it isn't JUST restricted to teachers... once they include parents, students, and everyone else... it sounds VERY inappropriate.

Please Facebook don't sue my Textbook. I spent $100 for it. By the way don't forget these favorite:

audiobook, bankbook, bluebook, casebook, cashbook, chapbook, checkbook, codebook, cookbook, copybook, datebook, daybook, guidebook, handbook, hornbook, hymnbook, lawbook, logbook, matchbook, nonbook, notebook, overbook, passbook, playbook, pocketbook, prebook, promptbook, psalmbook, rebook, schoolbook, scrapbook, sketchbook, songbook, sourcebook, storybook, studbook, stylebook, wordbook, workbook, yearbook.

Big Facebook? A pissy little website. This is the real world they're messing with.

First they make an hour long advertisement you have to pay fifteen bucks for, then they sue a teaching network trying to promote humanities! I bet they wont sue @!$%#book.com.

So, what, it's ok for Apple to use "FaceTime?" Or are they too big to sue?
