I'm happy to tell you that Overstock.com has dropped Beacon until it becomes opt-in. See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/30/technology/30face.html?_r=2&ref=techno...

Keep up the pressure, it's working. We have also confirmed that Facebook is re-thinking their decision and that there are plans in the works to mitigate the issue. Keep fighting!
Comrade Ringo Kamens
