"When one user clicks on an advertisement in their feeds, all of that user’s friends will be notified that the ad was clicked on and will be given an opportunity to join a group led by the advertiser, apparently."if that is indeed true I would definitely think about quitting facebook. what does knowing what ads your friends click on have to do with social networking? absolutely nothing.
I cancelled my facebook account yesterday. It is basically pointless, keeps people away from true social interaction, and is turning into the horrors that is myspace. And plus, it makes me want to stalk girls and ex-girlfriends. I'm not a creep, thats how its designed!
I think they already stated last week, or sometime recently, that they wouldn't be adding more ads. I remember it being on one of those home page announcements.
Advertising is already starting to crop up in there. I get invitations to stupid groups like "Dane Cook is coool ROFL!!" or "Apple Computers Please Join Our Group and We'll Give You Free Mp3's Because We are Down With The Kids" and so on....
viral?what?viral in the sense that these ads have the ability to self-replicate and will spawn more ads and more ads, eventually taking over the rest of the content on your page, the internet, THE UNIVERSE!!!or viral in the sense that these are the most fantastically cool advertisements that you have ever seen, and that upon viewing them you are compelled to call your friends, family and neighbors and tell them how cool these ads are so that they come view them and then they get their friends to view them, etc... just because of the simple fact that the ads are sooo cool. (this use of the word viral makes me barf)please clarifiy which of these you mean, so i don't have to realize that you really don't know how to put sentences together.now, excuse me, i have to go dog my olympic belt.
