Today in a sweet piece of irony, Facebook is using that same patent to sue Yahoo. Facebook claims that Yahoo's Flickr Photostream and Activity Feeds infringe on Generating a Feed of Stories Personalized for Members of a Social Network.This U.S. Patent 7,827,208 for "generating dynamic relationship-based content personalized for members of a web-based social network [with] weighting by affinity" and nine others could help Facebook escape a costly settlement over the original patent lawsuit Yahoo's filed against it last month.
