message: Please note that the languages section is outdated: German, French, Italian, Dutch and Spanish versions are available, as you can see in the home page clicking in the bottom right corner. I suppose the previous change could be OK if not removing notes, something like this:
Change this old text:
It can be used in many countries including Ireland, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. A Polish version was launched recently, which uses a different user database. There are plans for French German and other versions.

thread_title:  Again, on languages 

message: Bebo was founded in January 2005 (the acronym "Blog early, blog often"[1]was later applied after it was 'made-up' by founder Michael Birch in an interview). There is now tailored content targeted at UK, Ireland, Australia, NZ, US English and US Latino, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands and India, with the site being available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Polish.

 Not done: Welcome and thanks for contributing. Edit requests need to be specific and detailed in a 'Please change X to Y' manner. Factual content changes, like these, require reliable sources.

message: Profiles may include quizzes which offer multiple choice, polls for their friends to vote in and comment on, photo albums which allows the user to upload an unlimited number of images with a maximum limit of 48 per album, blogs with a comments section, a list of bands of which the user is a fan, a list of groups that the user is a member of. A 'Video Box' may be added, either hot-linked from YouTube, uploaded directly to Bebo's servers via Motionbox or copied from a Bebo Media Content Provider's page.
Members can view the recent changes friends have made to their homepage from the 'Home' menu. These changes can include uploaded photos, updated flashboxes and newly added videos, or what their friends have been doing on Facebook, Twitter, Flicker and other services if those friends have linked those accounts to their Bebo one friends. A map feature enables members to see who has being viewing their profile. However, the viewer must be logged in while viewing and have their profile set to public in the map section, in order for this to be possible.
: Done though I have slightly tweaked the content: These changes can include uploaded photos, updated flashboxes and newly added videos and friends. A friend's updates to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and other services can also be viewed, if those friends have linked those accounts to their Bebo profile.  Please let me know if this is not acceptable.
:In the future, could you please make it more clear what changes you would like to have made?  It took me a couple of minutes of comparing the two texts before I spotted the altered sentence.  Thanks!  Maedin\talk 12:07, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Open application platform
On November 1, 2007, Bebo announced that it will join OpenSocial, a set of common APIs for building social applications across the web. It announced plans for a developers platform and said it will make a further platform announcement on November 13, 2007. This platform announcement turned out to be about the Bebo 'Open Media Platform' and not a true API. Bebo's Developers Platform was launched in early December 2007 with just over 50 applications.

message: NOT SURE WHY THIS ONE INCIDENT GETS A MENTION - EITHER SOMEONE SHOULD INCLUDE ALL SAFTEY INCIDENTS OR NONE AT ALL
	
On May 21, 2008 some users in New Zealand were temporarily given full access to other users' accounts.[15] Various users logged in under their own account were switched over to the accounts of other users at random intervals, some people gaining access to over 20 different users' accounts. People were sometimes given access to addresses and phone numbers of other members, and some took advantage of the situation by uploading pornography onto other members' accounts.[16] Bebo network engineers traced the error to a mis-configured proxy server in an Internet service provider (ISP) in New Zealand, which was later fixed. The ISP seemed to be interfering with its cache, thereby causing some of its customers to receive cached cookies and details from other users, likely because the ISP used dynamic IP addresses.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BeboKnowledgeable (talk • contribs) 09:52, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

 Done Welcome and thanks for contributing. We cannot use information you have from first hand experience to counter a well-sourced claim, but that claim has no source, so I removed it. Cheers, Celestra (talk) 15:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Bebo has also introduced the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) button in its web site. This will help children and teenagers to escape bullying and child grooming. Children suspecting the intention of the sender, can click on this button which will re-direct them to a specially trained CEOP officer. They can get help from the officer or use the 10 other links which provides the details about local police and child helpline. This facility has been implemented for the users of UK to provide the safest possible environment. 
Thanks

message: What nobody seems to have mentioned so far is that when AOL acquiared Bebo, they told AOL users that their personal profile information would automatically be moved to Bebo.  It didn't work. Most of the tools for searching the old AOL member database were eliminated, and many features of Bebo did not work in conjunction with AOL.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by RogerInPDX (talk • contribs) 01:44, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Should we have a section on Bebo's collapse in the latter half of 2008 due to all the spam and unsolicited friend requests etc? It seems to be universally accepted that this is why Bebo fell, in particular when one particular online dating site started to flood it with spam during that summer...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.135.130 (talk) 08:27, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
