techcrunch.com — You see those ads saying "Inbox (5). Nick, someone in San Francisco has a crush on you!" (with your name, profile picture, and city in the ad). I generated millions of dollars from these offers on Facebook -- I am not proud of it, but it was very lucrative.

It wasn't meant to be a rebuttal, it was meant to call you an idiot. If you weren't an idiot, you would know its against the law "Can spam Act" to steal email addresses for spamming. 2. Your moronic self thinks its just ok to deceive people,and cant figure why that bothers people. Its morons like YOU that destroy our great country. Who brought you up Hitler?? Your mother and father did a lousy job thats for sure.

Apparently the article was too much for you to comprehend.1. Make some s**tty application that appeals to teenagers, who now all have cell phones that their parents pay for.2. Build ads into the game which look like Facebook related alerts. You have seen them. They look something like, "Find out who is stalking you", "Find out who your crush is", etc.3. When the user goes through "registering" for said "application" that tells you whatever you decided to lie about, request cell # for verification. 4. Send pin to cell number.5. Dumbass teenager goes to third party website, not Facebook, and enters PIN. Dumbass teenager does not read small print that they are signing up for a $2/day joke service.6. PROFIT!!!!

Get tab permissions, you can block images, too. If it's just a news site I prefer to read it with a link to images if I want them. I have Adblock Plus but never really set it up as NoScript and Flashblock seem to take care of most of the junk. Some stuff is in the hosts file, also.
