[reso]

I don't speak for facebook, but I'm virtually certain this is either a fabrication, or a side-effect which is not legally actionable in the slightest.

Either:

1) The allegation is that facebook reappropriated Timelines' vanity url, which I know to be a forbidden practice internally. Furthermore, http://www.facebook.com/timelines goes to Timelines' page, while http://www.facebook.com/timeline goes to facebook's page about Timeline. Since the other service's name is "Timelines", it makes sense that they would have the vanity url that they appear to now.

2) The allegation is that by naming the feature Timeline, facebook users looking for Timelines' page will, out of confusion, find their way to Facebook's page instead. I have no idea how the plaintiffs think this is actionable if this is their complaint.
