Comments on: Zuckerberg on Beacon: “We’ve Made a Lot of Mistakes” http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2007/12/zuckerberg-on-beacon-weve-made-a-lot-of-mistakes.html Internet Marketing News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:00:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mike Mothner http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2007/12/zuckerberg-on-beacon-weve-made-a-lot-of-mistakes.html/comment-page-1#comment-37865 Mike Mothner Thu, 06 Dec 2007 17:19:13 +0000 http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2007/12/zuckerberg-on-beacon-weve-made-a-lot-of-mistakes.html#comment-37865 When you are dealing with the issue of protecting privacy, you have to be immensely careful, which unfortunately, is something Facebook has failed to do. In terms of overlooking privacy concerns, users will become wary fast if standards are not upheld and ensured, which is something that Facebook has now violated twice. Although Zuckerberg has now apologized, it might not be enough to fully regain users' confidence.

That speaks well of Zuckerberg. It takes a lot for a person to step up and admit one’s mistakes. That speaks well of Zuckerberg.

I feel it is very responsible of the CEO to apologize and attempt to make amends.

I still will have a sour taste in my mouth for awhile but at the very least they admitted they put their eyes on $$$ signs before their own community. @ Owen, I suspect you are probably right. Most Facebook users probably don't even know what the hell Beacon is. Good.

You can't fool people twice, so users will be careful now. Despite his acknowledgment of the mistake, I think this will have other repercussions for Facebook.
