A Facebook Glitch

My friend, Tom Krieglstein, recently encountered an interesting glitch on his Facebook account. He was accidentally given administrative control of some very large corporate Facebook pages, including Delta Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Microsoft, and the Star Wars fan page. You can see Tom show off this glitch on AllFacebook.

In a conversation about the glitch and Facebook's recent upgrade with PCWorld, Tom states his belief that problem was due to "a kink in the new code." However, Facebook claims this was an "isolated inciendent."

Facebook "fixed" the problem today by removing Tom as an admin from all pages, including Swift kick and Red Rover, which he actually owns. Hopefully this problem is resolved shortly.
