Facebook users rejoice: You own your data again! For those that missed out a bit of a storm hit this weekend when Consumerist wrote up that Facebook’s secretive new Terms of Use allowed them to do whatever they wanted with your content forever and ever amen, even if you deleted your account. Mark Zuckerberg, the head cheese over at Facebook, responded with a blog noting that the intention wasn’t to steal your information but rather to keep it available to others. His example was if you sent your friend a Facebook mail, then deleted your account, that mail should still exist in your friend’s inbox. Regardless, a little after midnight today Zuckerberg updated the official blog to announce the Terms had been returned to their original pre-storm state, and subsequently invited people to pitch their thoughts on what the next Terms of Use should contain through a new group titled Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities. Interweb wins again!

What was it, two years ago when I tried to tell people Justin Pogge wouldn’t be a top goaltender in the NHL? What is it about Leafs fans that everyone under 23 on the Marlies is viewed as a future superstar? I only wish we’d traded Pogge after that one good Juniors performance a few years back, when he might have actually been worth something.
