   To use a friend's term, Facebook is a douchetard. It filed a patent for crowdsourcing translations. Hope that fails. http://is.gd/2BkE9

     @thornet What? That has to fail! dotSub has done that for quite some time! And obvious things shouldn't be patentable! ( http://is.gd/2BkE9)

     @forteller I completely agree. It's ludicrous to even try patenting such a process. I just hope the patent office sees it the same way.

     @werdna not only there, but all across the internets. Facebook can't claim any originality in this process, I'd contend.

     @werdna I'd be interested to read that. I hope slides/transcript/video/whatnot will be going online at some point.
