#2Wow, for a moment I thought it was for real :)
edit: good job, BTW.

#3Image Scan, Receipt, and Locate are all only a few years away. And in lesser forms, they could actually be cool features.

#5Surf already exists-- it's called behavioral targeting. Of course, no one (not even facebook) is stupid enough to directly report this information back to the user or the user's friends, except in the form of targeted ads.
Image Scan actually sounds like a pretty good business plan-- once again, for ad targeting. Although there are some quality issues--- do you really want your ad showing next to someone burning one of your shoes, or a picture of a sweatshop worker?
Locate-- facebook might not be working on it, but google definitely is.
Diary-- livejournal. fb notes. 'nuff said.
Receipt-- Beacon on crack. Marketers have been chasing the holy grail of tracking customers purchases across all channels. If you've ever given a "source code" or "catalog code" when ordering from a paper catalog, that's what you're doing. Cross-channel microtargeting is the future!
One wonders if the credit card processors are doing the kinds of under-the-table clickstream-data types of deals that the ISPs are doing.

Protected- satire. Though a clearer "satire warning" is probably needed for true CYA.

#8Notice the "Sign Up" link points to ConnectU, who is currently suing Facebook? Might be a little more at work here than mere satire...
At any rate, it definitely took me a minute to realize that this was NOT real.

Heh, I also thought that Beacon was fake too. Sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction.
Alex3917, had a really good post on this. He basically said that as FB becomes more and more desperate for revenue, they'll try more and more audacious ways of selling your personal info. So I don't think this parody is that far off at all.

IIRC satire isn't protected speech, only parody.
Funny, the first entry in my thesaurus for parody is satire. And vice versa.
Also, last time I checked, the first amendment protects pretty much all forms of speech.
