Facebook Punks TechCrunch — Fun Fun Fun

“The geek in me loved reading this on TechCrunch today. I follow TechCrunch avidly and have noticed that they like to take jibes at Facebook, so seems it was payback time. Facebook added a “feature” that was only visible to someone browsing from an IP address that belonged to TechCrunch.

Unable to resist the temptation to blog about this new feature, after Facebook failed to respond to their request for comment, Techcrunch went ahead and announced the new “feature” to the world – labeling it useless and expensive, unbeknown to them that they were the only ones who could see it (kinda like the emperors new clothes), while the folks at Facebook just sat back and waited for the inevitable to happen, savoring the moment.

Nice!!!

As an aside, I really enjoyed reading the comments to the original post on TechCrunch…
