I thought you Facebook junkies would enjoy this

I suggest you read on,........

Facebook reuses your 'likes' to promote new stuff - Technology on NBCNews.com


Unlike the things you actively post on Facebook, and expect to show up on the pages of your Facebook friends — a hilarious e-card about Friday the 13th, or a set of anthropomorphized corgies from BuzzFeed — the items Facebook posts using your name come from things you "liked" maybe long ago, and can put you in hot water in the here and now.

In some cases, these posts can include controversial political content that you would never voluntarily post, Bott writes To illustrate, he shares examples that appeared in his own Newsfeed. One, an "OBAMACARE MUST GO" icon from the ForAmericaFacebook page, showed up under the name of a friend who apparently liked that page at some point. But he didn’t mean to post that "OBAMACARE MUST GO" image in the Newsfeeds of his Facebook friends.

The other FB tidbit is that FB has a 'promote your posts in the news feed' deal now: being trotted out in some countries and I am sure the US is on their list.

One pays ~$7 and gets their posts, comments, picks of their lunch moved 'up' into their news feed to all their eager followers/friends. ...

I wouldn't pay 7 cts...if my gang wants to read my drivel & pithy comments, and see the pics I post, I am sure they can find my stuff on FB.

The pressure for revenue enhancement has caught up to the geniuses at FB, imo.
