"Bocaditos" de Internet

Facebook's Status: Sorry
Deluged by angry user feedback, social-networking site Facebook retracted a change to its terms of service that would have given the company the right to use members' private information--and license it to other companies--in perpetuity. The change, which covered users' personal bios and photos, prompted more than 96,000 members to protest by--how else?--joining a Facebook group against it.

Recession Watch
Is www.economiccrisis.com still available? VeriSign, which manages Internet domain-name registrations, reports that 17% fewer com and other standard Web addresses were registered in the fourth quarter of 2008 than in the same period in 2007, a slump analysts say may indicate a slowdown in new online businesses and advertising. Total registrations worldwide continue to grow, driven by demand in countries like China (.cn) and Germany (.de).
