Deleted photos live on in Facebook servers

Old Facebook photos may still be accessible for months – or even years – after being deleted, living on in the depths of the social network’s servers. First revealed in 2009 by Ars Technica, the firm recently queried Facebook again after discovering backup copies – that could potentially be accessed by users – still existed some three years later. “Users who might have had second thoughts about posting a photo could certainly remove the image from Facebook’s main user interface, but as long as someone had a direct link to the JPEG file in question, the photo would remain accessible for an indefinite amount of time,” the company said in a blog post . According to Facebook, a poorly-functioning legacy system is the culprit, but a new system is on its way to ensure deleted photos can no longer be accessed. “We are in the process of migrating these photos to the newer system to ensure proper deletion, but until this migration is complete, CDN URLs from deleted photos stored on this legacy system may still be accessible,” Facebook spokesman Frederic Wolens told CNET

Marketing By Method Versus Vision

The companies that make a real impact in the marketplace are not the ones that produce what people think they want, but rather the ones that produce what people will want but don’t know it.
