Facebook reached a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission that requires the site to ask for users’ consent before changing privacy settings. The FTC made a total of eight allegations towards Facebook, including making users’ private information public without their consent. In other news, Google announced that it’s taking Google Maps indoors. You can now access floor plans of select airports, malls and retailers like Macy’s, Home Depot and Ikea. More public locations will be added over time and if you want your business mapped, Google will let you submit your floor plan online. And finally, if you’re a FiOS Internet and cable subscriber, Verizon will stream live TV channels through your Xbox. Starting December 6th, if you’re an Xbox Live Gold member, you can use your console to watch 26 live channels without the need for an additional set-top box.

    Hi !

    1. Get in touch with your bookie. How long will it take FB to jump the agreed upon rules ?

    2. a. Floor plan at Ikea are available as you walk in. And, as you probably know, floor plans are strategically (some better than others) so you do wander to see more POP, increase appetite for you to buy more. That’s why elevators are placed where they are and shift the up and downs, for which Bloomies is famous. (Asking vis a vis is a great exercise in communication skills, too, plus learning how to follow verbal directions can’t hurt.)

    2.b. More things for people not to use their brains. Dried up brains are not as easily to manipulate as believed, but Zombies are in vogue.
