And today's last word in business comes from a lawyer in Australia who's been trying to serve a foreclosure notice to a couple that has defaulted on a home loan. Mark McCormack could not find the couple by email, and he could not find them at their home. So he turned to Facebook, the popular social networking site. And that leads to today's last word: superpoke.
Poking is a Facebook form of fast communication, and that's how Mr. McCormack has tried to serve legal documents to the couple's Facebook page. Last week, a top court in Australia ruled he could do it. But by the time the court approved McCormack's request to legally serve his foreclosure notice, the couple had removed their Facebook profile from public view. That's the business news on Morning Edition from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
