Will Facebook recant Beacon in time to save us buying David Weinberger a drink?

From the Christmas is coming Dept:

So Facebook is looking at recanting on the Beacon Opt-Out policy, it would seem.

We offered 3-2 odds this would happen before December, and David Weinberger counterbid 100-1 against. In the UK it is traditional to buy a drink for the winning party in such friendly wagers

Therefore, if they recant in the next 24 hours David has to buy me a drink, but if not the reverse applies.

Besides, it is the right thing to do. Opt In is the Good Guy play.

Now, we realise that by recanting, Facebook risks its $15bn valuation for the moment, but that (since they kicked our blog off Facebook) is not our problem.

However, if they could see their way to sorting this out in the next 24 hours then we would be greatful - it would save the £5.00 odd for the drink (plus the airfare as we are UK based), which would be very helpful

Cheers!
