Mital,
I never made money with any of these names, they actually cost me time, money, and energy.
And yeah Faceosphere.com is a stretch, I should be thankful they didn't demand MarkMayhew.com?!

Worth noting that none of your use is commerical, from what I can tell.

And Faceosphere.com is extreme reaching

how is facebooktips.com any different from facebookeconomy.com? The Facebook Economy deals with the emerging economy around FB application developers, etc.

And remember, Facebook also wants the Mini-Feed.com and faceosphere.com domains as well...

What they say seems to be correct. If your url was facebook tips you may be able to make a case for SEO keyword use.

Facebook lawyers sent me a cease and desist letter (regarding the FacebookEconomy.com domain name)

Facebook's lawyers sent me a cease and desist letter regarding several domain names I own: FacebookEconomy.com, Mini-Feed.com, and Faceosphere.com.
Here's a link to the letter: http://u.phoreo.com/zg.pdf
I've offered to redirect ("point") the domains to any site that they choose, and I have taken down any auction listings I had the names up on, but Facebook's lawyers won't budge, they want to take possesion of my domain names.
I miss the good old days, when FB used to disable my account.
