I hadn't been on my FaceBook account in a while but I was horrified to see a FB suggestion that some friend of mine had entered her personal and business e-mail passwords and let a FB application "find more new friends" for her. I quickly called her and found out that the whole thing was bogus, even though FB has provided the application my personal email ID that was in the account profile.
These guys are dangerous. You must watch them all the time and people don't even have a clue of what they are capable of trying to do in exchange for revenue. What's next from these crooks?

Not to worry... FB will be deemed too big to fail & qualify for a govt. bailout. Obama knows you can't have a successful campaign without social networking. Probably explains the "no taxes owed" situation.

Facebook may soon overtake MySpace. Twitter is hot on Facebook's trail, though, as the best place to post pictures of weed, "molly" and Purple Drank.

Ad content is popping up as of today on my account, in my news feed as of today, what the f! This thing is so from from its original intent, competitive options coming soon, as a public company they are doomed, only the corporate asshats will use it until its dead. Prediction - under $5 by July 1, 2014.

I see essentially NO ads at all on the web because I run ad blockers, script blockers, some greasemonkey scripts, Facebook tracking/button blockers, and Social Fixer is running in the Facebook-dedicated browser. The videos won't be a problem here. I guess they WILL be a pain for mobile users.
My family has begun to prefer Facebook to email for keeping in touch, and I have to admit it has made that information more comprehensively and easily available. I know more about nieces/nephews and family events than I did pre-Facebook, with pictures, instantly. But damned if I want to see ads or pay for the service in any way. I'd rather go back to email, which I quite liked. Facebook reverts things to almost synchronous communication, which is a bit too direct and immediate. I like bulletin-board-style asynchronicity.

So what happens if my phone doesn't have the Java API code necessary to play their videos? Currently I can watch some videos on my phone, but not all, and even some Youtube stuff doesn't have a mobile version.
Oh yes, even if the video does play, there's no guarantee it will run to completion even if I want it to. I live near an airport, and quite often the signal gets jammed by aircraft radar.

Some of my customers are addicted to FB. For me, it's free. I post pics of jobs up there....and these jobs pop up all over the world. Quebec', England, Australia....all for free.
Just had an inquiry from Malaysia.
I NEVER use it as a social area......just bang pics up there and I'm outta there.....

I saw a strange request the other day. Maybe someone here can verify. A FB user was requesting that all of his FB friends block his information from being shared. He was implying that prior, he could block his pics from being shared with friends of friends, but now, he was unable to do that.
Needs verification, but IMHO that is a much bigger deal. If now your pictures can be shared by your friends with their friends without your permission, that could be a game changer.

Except for the math, it's all going to work out.

I quit facebook a year back. Agree ads, video ones in particular that override music you're listening to or whatever are VERY annoying.
Btw there is NO REASON to ever watch a Youtube ad. Go to youtube with google chrome and adblock and there are zero ads. Youtube does not embed them in a way that prohibits their being blocked; you will not have ads with chrome + adblock. Youtube is barely usable for everybody else who doesn't have this combination.

Saturday night we had a friend come over, a former exchange student, now U.S. Citizen, who will be shipping out, joining the armed forces for our country next month (poor, crazy dumb bastard).
He tried to friend my wife's FB account (I don't have one), and was prompted that he would be required to pay $1 in order to process the request to be sent to her! I should have taken a screenshot, but didn't think to. We exchanged email addresses instead.

Let's see, $1 to send someone an email, several dollars to "promote" your posts, allowing advertisers to post IN MY NAME and now auto play video.

What about the guy that checks his facebook page while at work, only to have a video start playing at full volume. I have a growing list of sites that I've black listed for doing exactly that. I don't mind video playing in the sidebar, so long as it's either paused or muted by default. But going to ANY site that automatically begins playing at max volume, is an instant disqualifier.

Quote:This company is a short to zero. I kind of doubt that, as this is a Wall Street SCAM, after all. Nonetheless, even if the stock was zero tomorrow, what difference would it make? The massive wealth transfer (THEFT) has already taken place, with the IPO and subsequent massive insider selling! The scam has already been accomplished. All they are trying to do now is pretend they have a "business" to justify their previous fraud of taking this ****ing trash public.......

In the long run even the most despotic governments with all their brutality and cruelty are no match for ideas. Eventually the ideology that has won the support of the majority will prevail and cut the ground from under the tyrant's feet and rise in rebellion to overthrow their masters.
