Wondermark on Facebook: You've Been Marketed To!

Is it possible to excerpt a single-panel comic? I’ve attempted to do that to encourage you to click to see the whole thing, the latest gem from Wondermark, the strip by David Malki (thanks Kenny Miller from MTV Networks for sharing the link – on Facebook, of course). This is a great satire of Facebook […]

Facebook Advertising Expert Roundtable: Jeremiah, Adam, Seni, Howard

A firestorm of explosive debate erupted on this blog recently as a record number of comments were posted to a discussion on new abuses from Facebook relating to its Social Ads and Beacon advertising offerings. There are over 70 comments, and they all add color to the conversation. Today I’ve invited a number of people […]

Facebook Beacon Ad Update: Oozing with Irony

Given the barrage of comments on the recent post Facebook Social Ads Need an Opt Out, I updated the post and it’s really too good to share buried there (though PLEASE go there and read the comments if you want a year’s worth of great discussion within a single post). Thanks CK for the idea […]

Facebook Social Ads Need an Opt-Out

Lately I’ve been seeing far more ads on Facebook supported by implicit endorsements from friends. I’ve also had other friends share screenshots of ads and applications that I endorse. While Facebook did an admirable job mitigating the Beacon controversy, the debate about its Social Ads is far from over, and Facebook clearly isn’t yet giving […]

The Month in Links So Far

As I catch up on a lot of what I missed in just a single week during my break for my wedding, I thought I’d round up some of the links that I took a little time to peruse, including a couple that came up since my return but weren’t covered in their own blog […]

Facebook Beacon Already Changing Opt-In Default Settings?

Facebook seems to be shifting its stance on Beacon yet again. Yesterday, Friday, when a Beacon alert came up after playing a game on Kongregate.com, I returned to Facebook and the checkbox next to "Always publish stories sent to my profile from this site" was unchecked, so it had to be selected. Toady, Saturday, when […]

How Facebook Can Fix Beacon Once and for All

For everyone following the game of Beacon Chicken that Facebook’s playing, you can catch a great recap on the NY Times Bits blog with a "historical" perspective courtesy of MoveOn.org (note that it’s been less than four weeks from Beacon’s launch until this latest change).

Social Network Insecurity

Why are social networks so insecure? If Facebook was completely self-confident, then why does it send emails letting you know you have a Facebook email that don’t tell you what the message is? MySpace is at least as egregious, and in some ways is more irksome. Consider their birthday alert email. The subject is "One […]

What Facebook Learned from Search

Is Facebook really trying to steal Google’s fire? Should we just call it Faceboogle? Maybe not. See the full post in the extended entry; it was originally published in MediaPost. What Facebook Learned from Search Imagine if Picasso painted a search engine results page from Google. It would probably wind up looking like Facebook, which […]

Facebook Ad Targeting: From 2007 To 1984

Originally published in MediaPost, the full column’s in the extended entry. IS FACEBOOK’S ADVERTISING PLATFORM IN 2007 tinted with shades of "1984"? Two weeks ago, we explored how Facebook serves as a search engine for marketers.
