Scrabulous Not Dead Yet

Posted in Law, Facebook by Elliott Back on January 25th, 2008.

Scrabulous, the popular Scrabble clone, was announced dead earlier today by Mashable. With over 600,000 daily users, it caught the eye of Hasbro and Mattel who sent a takedown notice to Facebook.

The only problem, Mashable, is that I have been playing it today. Basically, the story is completely false; if Facebook did get a takedown request, it would be wiped out completely and not throwing errors / playable.
