---- Facebook Patent on News Feed Is Granted

The patent is on the method they use to generate the News Feed and there are specific things someone would have to do to infringe on it if it's even enforceable, and I'm tired of repeating myself, so I'll just give it up to everyone who thinks it's a horrible thing...

You're right, the growth of the Internet is dead because the precedent may have been set to make it so you can't copy someone else's method of doing things and have to think of a different idea someone is not already using or a different method of doing what they are if you want to copy it.

No one will ever be able to build a basic News Feed again and those already existing will have to be shut down because of this patent, right?
