Annoying Facebook personalities

with one comment

I found this article to be amusing yet true. To those pesky Facebook users out there who fall under these categories please take a hint. We have the ‘add as many friends as we can’ user along with the ‘dramatic status updater’ user. Perhaps they aren’t as annoying as the ’self promoting’ user. Yes, we all know one of those. The user we never want to think about especially for you ladies is the “stalker”. The guy who looks at your profile in the anonymity of Facebook land constantly keeping track of your every move.

Facebook “Selling” User Data

without comments

It has been announced that Facebook will begin selling some user data to businesses wanting market research. This idea isn’t half bad and it is not a plan to sell “personal” data. Market research should be, if done correctly, done with no personal identifiers. Select users will get ads that appeal to them and if they interact with that ad, it will be shared in the news section for friends to read. That’s what I understand from their new system.
