Can anyone point me in the direction of the Facebook saga Frank referenced? I can't find anything but articles about actual redesigns.

Looks like the original article went down because they rehosted the whole website to a new url, which means all the comments are gone now. This is the rehosted article sans comments: https://readwrite.com/2010/02/10/facebook_wants_to_be_your_one_true_login/

This is an article about it: https://ontechnologyandmedia.com/2010/02/13/the-facebook-login-fiasco/
There's more archived comments here but then it cuts off to a paywall: https://www.adweek.com/performance-marketing/confirmed-readwriteweb-is-not-the-new-facebook/

You can find a bit more about it using these as google search terms, but what I can't find is readwriteweb's original response article they wrote somewhere.
