Facebook Emails Users About September's Beacon Settlement
Facebook’s ill-fated early social advertising service, Beacon, is now even closer to being a memory. The company sent out a court-ordered email today to users who had used the service when it launched in late 2007, notifying them of a class action lawsuit settlement announced this past September.
The service aimed to tell people when their friends did certain things across the web, like buy a movie ticket — an item about this action would automatically show up in their friends news feed.
