Facebook Becomes Big Brother Seller (TinyURL, Newsfilterish) Is it me or is this just a little creepy?
  • i'd like a piece of that.
  • Another good reason to stay out of the Matrix.
  • And they shall know us by our trail of advertisements.
  • What kind of person puts themselves forward as a 'fan' of the Toyota Prius? Unless paid.
  • Substitute an Apple product for Prius and ask that question again.
  • Actually, around here you can substitute Prius for Prius.
  • Hosts file me up. If I want to know what anyone thinks of a Prius I'll look it up in Google.
  • So, this is kind of a shilly thing to do and all, but how does the Big Brother reference fit in?
  • "Hosts file me up." ? What's odd is that they were talking about this on my local radio news this morning, and the newreader was saying that Facebook would start putting targeted ads into chat on Facebook today, but only if members agreed to it. Seems quite a bit off. I'm thinking they got BuzzLogic and Facebook mixed up, probably from this story.
  • What kind of person puts themselves forward as a 'fan' of the Toyota Prius? Unless paid. When is the last time you were paid for sporting an Adidas t-shirt or Nike shoes? Indeed, I'll wager you paid for the privilidge.
  • Indeed, I'll wager you paid for the privilidge. Not me. /crosses arms
  • The Underpants Monster is now a fan of Chillee Ugum's Lemon-Scented Otter Bile!
