For those of you who are not on Facebook (yes, there are people who aren’t) or who are not into playing the popular game on Facebook with their friends: Scrabulous is a popular application, which lets you play Scrabble with your buddies on Facebook.

Last week Facebook was asked to pull the application by Mattel, due to a violation of copyright… you can find details about it here. Facebook members immediately started a protest on Facebook to keep the – can I say it again -  popular app.

I think that banning this would be a missed opportunity for Mattel. Why take something down which actually promotes their cause? In my opinion, Mattel should just buy Scrabulous! What better way to do some advertising that actually engages people…

And now there is actually some evidence that this could happen.
