Scrabulous suspended on Facebook.

Only suspended in America and Canada so far, so I'm okay. For now.

*wipes nervous sweat from brow*

I sympathise with Hasbro because Scrabulous does nick their game. Legally it seems pretty open-and-shut. On the other hand there's no profit being made and it would clearly never have occurred to Hasbro to do their own Facebook app without the success of Scrabulous.

Scrabulous. Scrabulous is the point of Facebook.

And when you are rubbish at Scrabble?

Also being able to read people's Facebooks.

I don't think I've ever seen anything on anyone's Facebook that was worth reading...

No but when your siblings have them then you're sort of obliged...

I now use it to share personal photos with people, which seems like as good a purpose as any, and occasionally to indulge in memes. (Or the meme-like apps that seem to be the real point of Facebook.)
