Teachers: Lesson Sharing Site Sued By Facebook

image from www.observer.com Facebook is suing Teachbook, a tiny Chicago-based startup, for patent infringement or something like that. Already inclined to slam the 500M-strong social media site for all its other flaws and misdeeds, bloggers are defending Teachbook noting that "book" is pretty generic and the two logos don't resemble each other.  In the short term, it's a boon to Teachbook -- publicity that they could never ever have afforded, plus that whole David V. Goliath thing. Sorry about all the blind links -- hate them -- here's one from Wired (link).
