The Facebook Login Thing: Blown Out of Proportion
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 17th Feb 2010 12:29 UTC
Editorial Recently, a story about people mistaking a news story for the Facebook login page has received considerable media attention.

I don't know about other countrys, but I'm german and nobody I know would use "anmelden", english words like "login" are very common here regarding websites.

Sure, but Google.de would have GERMAN news at the top.

So lezard is right international users wouldn't land on RWW.

And besides: Pulling numbers out of your ass is always tricky.
