Scrabulous caves in, shut down for US and Canada Facebook users

July 29, 2008 · Posted in India Social Networking 

Ever since Scrabulous became a superhit Facebook app and got coverage from leading media (about how they were making more than $20k per month), controversy has always followed it everywhere.

After Hasbro (who has rights to the Scrabble game) launched its own Scrabble application on Facebook, it slapped a lawsuit against Scrabulous and its founders - Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla from Calcutta.

It seems that the brothers have caved in and the Scrabulous application has been shut down for Facebook users from US and Canada. The application is still available to facebook users from elsewhere.

    As far as mobile apps for meeting people goes, check out RockeTalk. Neat application for voice chat with video and slide shows. Try m.rocketalk.com from your phone or http://www.rocketalk.com from the web to download.

    The main problem with facebook is, face book doesn’t support “freedom of speech” and suppresses information that administrators don’t like. That is the main reason for unpopularity and irreputation of facebook.
