More About Facebook

Update 2: Facebook has backed off the change in Terms of Service and returned to the previous version. This is a result of user feedback.
Facebook has started a group called Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities
formed specifically to allow people "to give input and suggestions on Facebook's Terms of Use."

The Consumerist pointed out that Facebook has changed its Terms of Service for user-generated content. See discussion of the post/issue in this Mashable article and also at Webware. The change makes it clear that Facebook owns the content, even after you leave Facebook. It does go on to explain the whys of this decision.
Update 1: The New York Times and its readers have weighed in on the issue.

You've probably seen the Facebook 25 Random Things About Me craze and maybe even done it. It has been covered everywhere, it seems. What do you think--too much information, fun, entertaining...?
