Multiply sues Facebook

    First , Facebook withdrew its lawsuit to the federal court, which was filed last Friday (as previously written on the hub). In it, she accused the German social network studiVZ of copying the design and many principles of the site. The reasons for this decision are not currently advertised.
    Second , now Facebook is acting as a responder - quite unexpectedly for everyone, the Multiply service accused the creators of Facebook of stealing the ideas of their portal.
    From what I read and translated:
    * Multiply introduced feed news in August 2004, actually when the site was launched. Two years later, Facebook introduced a similar, though more fundamental, opportunity.
    * Bloggin appeared on Facebook 20 months later than Multiply.
    * Video as a service, Multiply announced in June 2005, while Facebook implemented such a “feature” 16 months later.
    * In September 2004, Multiply introduced a photo printing service for its users, while Facebook did it two years later.
    * Well, it is written that in “New Facebook” several changes were made, which in design and functionality make it even more similar to Multiply


    I feel that we are waiting for a cool action movie with the participation of social networks.
