Robert Scoble is banned from Facebook

Posted by Marshall on January 03, 2008 | Link It

Well…. it happens -

Scobleizer Scobleizer Oh, oh, Facebook blocked my account because I was hitting it with a script. Naughty, naughty Scoble!

 Right…   and it quickly became news - Facebook Bots Disable Robert Scoble

Robert Scoble is now invisible on facebook 

 

But Scoble admitted  that it was Plaxo that was running a script on his behalf - Robert comes clean. He was using a version of Plaxo Pulse to try to migrate his contacts over into outlook.

I guess that's what happens to you when you have 5000+ Facebook friends and you try something a little different ……. and all of a sudden… bang, your locked out of Facebook.

Not that I think pulling all that data into Pulse is really worth the effort or punishment -and I bet he'll be reinstated pretty soon.
