If these young people are only slightly savvy, they will know better than to be sucked in by such ads. Sort of a natural selection in cyberform, if you will. But it's kinda nice to see people are critical about what's on their screens.
- Supernova36, on 05/12/2008, -0/+11Ads are advertising now?
- jessechan, on 05/12/2008, -1/+11Is this one of the consequence of exposing a Data API?
- AceDaPig, on 05/12/2008, -2/+13I'm gonna laugh when employers start looking for Facebook and Myspace accounts more.
- mattus, on 05/12/2008, -1/+11I'm willing to bet that you're considerably more socially inept than the average Facebook user.
- Murdats, on 05/12/2008, -0/+6Most people are god damn stupid.
there I fixed it for you. - LiveDesign, on 05/12/2008, -0/+6Go to school! If you are going to insult something, do it with at least semi-proper English.
- casidnet, on 05/12/2008, -0/+6The day my employer can see my facebook profile is the day I add him to my friends list.
- bobcoxocn, on 05/12/2008, -0/+6Are the ads more or less annoying that the hundreds of stupid ass applications that I have to load for each friend's page I look at?
- Zippo, on 05/12/2008, -0/+5You're thinking of MySpace.
- HillerMylife, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4You can delete your account, you just have to jump through hoops to do it.
- OKeric, on 05/12/2008, -2/+7Even if you had your account deleted, they would still keep all your personal information. It's too valuable to just delete for them.
- Kmap, on 05/12/2008, -3/+7He was being sarcastic you moron!
- Darrelc, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3Posted new comment instead of reply, My apologies. Instead of my insightful comment have a picture of a rabbit: http://www.court-records.net/dusk/cute_baby_bunny. ...
- anillop, on 05/12/2008, -2/+5I cant even remember the last time I saw an add on the internet. I love firefox.
- casidnet, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3No, when you advertise on facebook you can set the demographic you want to target, such as Males, 18-22, not in college. Also its probably not the credit card companies doing the targetting but affiliates and lead generation companies.
- inactive, on 05/12/2008, -1/+6Most young people are god damn stupid.
- sfacets, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3Facebook group in 3,2...
- jasalo, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3Many people just send, send and keep sending bad applications. They are appspammers!!
- WoollyMittens, on 05/12/2008, -1/+5How's life from your golden cage, slave-of-the-bank?
- DCstewieG, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2"For $5 ~ $7 a month, you could buy a host, domain and get wordpress or some other blogging software installed."
...and do no networking whatsoever. Just like anything else, there is a whole range of intelligence on Facebook. You can easily use it as a glorified address book with the advantage of timely updates. Whatever money they're making on me for that is fine. - Nanite, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2I read that as "Facebook users warned about aids"
- sumdog, on 05/12/2008, -1/+4The public is not "smarter than that." Seriously, we here in the US elected a dumbass for eight years who has trouble reading, believes everything he's told and is easily distracted by shiny objects.
- Loornadune, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2You know those 'sponsored' links in your news feed? Oh yeaaahhh...
- Anonymous3, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2Start laughing, unfortunately.
- MavRevMatt, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2pics or it didnt happen
- inactive, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2We? A sufferer of schizophrenia? Explains your ***** for brains.
- inactive, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2Pretty damn good, owning a house is sweet.
How is life in your ***** apartment pissing away rent money to your land lord? Or are we still stuck in mommys basement? Have her bring me down a hot pocket too. - mayurpatil, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3+ Filter Set = Ad Free
I wish we had something similar for our Television ads. - MavRevMatt, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2As a "young person" I agree.
- WhereAmI, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3I just went through and made everything "only friends" and I have not so good friends seeing my limited profile.
I'd be ***** if an employer got a hold of my facebook pictures. - MtheoryX, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1To be fair, who doesn't like shiny objects?
/acting like an idiot - MtheoryX, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Rejected by /b/; incompetent on Digg. Sad.
- zadadka, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1A similar movement is underway in the UK to stop similar adverts appearing on Childrens TV channels. ...as if anyone watching Thomas The Tank Engine & Ben10 has a clue what APR is, let alone be able to sign up for a loan. (Yeah, I know, it's the parent being targeted, but the same probably applies)
- Darrelc, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1More blatant spam please? I Don't think the main demographic of diggers are interested in tibentian necklaces and chinese toilet roll holders.
- radiofrequency, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1At it's core, facebook is an evil organization that trades Americans' privacy for corporate and government interference. Of course actually using facebook is a choice, but this company's philosophy is in disagreement with the fourth and fourteenth amendments protecting our rights from "unreasonable search and seizure" and right to privacy.
- acidbathfan, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Web 3.0 will be all about social debt collecting websites and how you can integrate them into your network with 1 easy to use widget.
- MavRevMatt, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Yeah like a dozen of them..
- haydesigner, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Oh, the wit.... the unbridled wit!
- sumdog, on 05/12/2008, -1/+3My-book and Face-space cater to that level of intelligence. Think about it: when you use social networking, you're putting all your personal crap on someone else's site so they can stick ads on it and make money off your content. For $5 ~ $7 a month, you could buy a host, domain and get wordpress or some other blogging software installed.
Social networking caters to the lowest common denominator. - MavRevMatt, on 05/12/2008, -1/+2... Get off Digg.
- MavRevMatt, on 05/12/2008, -1/+3So do you?
- CoolSilver, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1So instead of warning the users about them and hoping it works, why not just take the damned things down?
Get some new damned ads. - HillerMylife, on 07/24/2008, -1/+1People complaining about "privacy rape," just set your privacy so that only your friends can see your profile. It's not that hard.
- 57girl, on 05/13/2008, -0/+0Make no mistake Mike, I own my house and two rental properties, have a credit score of 747 and my car is paid for. I just think 'credit cards' are a racket and should be used sparingly. Just because some of us know how to 'use' credit doesn't mean we are paupers because we don't abuse it. Too many people over extend themselves, then become slaves to never ending interest, especially since the card companies like to manipulate their interest rates to compensate for their losses in other areas these days. Don't jump to too many assumptions.
- WhereAmI, on 05/12/2008, -1/+1All of my friends on Facebook are ..real friends, so I don't see the bad thing in that.
- inactive, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1Facebook has AIDS?
