Facebook is being asked to take down the one thing on its site that I still love: Scrabulous.
It turns out that the online game that closely emulates the Scrabble Board Game, owned by the world's two largest toy makers has no rights to the name or the intellectual property it is using. As is often the case, no one for Facebook was available for comment.
For the past few months, I've been engaged in a Scrabulous tournament with Arik Hesseldahl of Businessweek who has been generally whupping my butt at the game. Now, when I have a 21 point lead in a game, now it may be called off on kind of infringement suit threats. Arik, it's your turn. Play fast. Please.
