Facebook Beacon in Action?
I pretty much never use Facebook. I tried MySpace a little bit and I already knew how to make my own websites, so social platforms never hooked me until I started working with Mike on Mixwit. So I joined Facebook, I added a few friends. I ignored 99% of all widget requests.
And as they say, social networks are a great way to connect with old friends. Mark E Quark pinged me last week, and then recently dropped me a message asking me to remove a Mixwit mixtape I had put together of his old old stuff (i.e. 93-94) since people “might get confused”. Removing the mix was no problem, but I had to go back to Facebook to contact him and let him know all is good.
Then I got this ad –>
Is it Beacon? I doubt it. I mean, I really fraking hope it’s not. But if it’s not Beacon… wow.
On second thought, is this a (ahem) targeted ad?
I say throw a sheep at them…
