Re: Facebook Launching the Google Adsense Killer

The facebook ads that are displayed now are appallingly targeted. Most of mine are invitations to meet girls, but FB knows, that I am married, so why is it bothering?

We don't need a word game to know you failed at least some spelling. In this post:

Whitter - should be witter.
Bosses - boss's (or bosses' depending how many there are).
Shear - sheer
your failed - you failed (all right, a typo not a spelling error).
Waisting - wasting.
Addicting games - addictive games? (Again, not spelling).

Wait! This post was a joke! The errors were deliberate, and I'm too humorless to get it.

Re: Facebook Continues to Clamp Down on Apps

There are a bunch of related 'quiz' applications that seem new. They let you take the quiz, and then don't let you see the result without you inviting 20 of your friends. They are trying to get around the forced invites by doing the forcing later on.

It's backfiring on them, because they are getting crappy reviews by springing this on people. (They all get around 1.2 stars).

Re: Were Facebook’s Loose Limits Self-Destructive?

Yes, I think the loose limits were, and still are destructive. More than once I've installed an application, completed some information, and then been told that I need to invite X of my friends to see the results. I don't want to, so I remove the application.

Now I ignore application invitations - they are likely to have come from applications that want me to do that, and I've better things to do. Even if the application is great, I'm not going to look at it.

Nice idea, but it doesn't actually work. The cab driver had no idea what I was talking about, and refused to accept the payment.
