Facebook (FB) Ads Work Says StreetInsider.com
You have to be careful about Facebook,
as StreetInsider.com writes
Forget the Nonsense, Facebook (FB) Ads Do Work.
We ourselves simply do not know.
The proof is in the pudding,
down the road of future experience.
My own opinion is that if the ads at Facebook were not working well,
it would in part be because they are not well placed on the Facebook pages.
Ads need not be overly intrusive to work,
but they have to be in the right place for users to see them.
Who looks way over to the right at ads? I would put the ads between postings.

Facebook Privacy Policies Have Litte Impact on Users as the Strategy of the Lowest Common Denominator -- also found in Blogging, Publishing, Academia and the Law - Captures the Mainstream
Privacy concerns about Facebook have few teeth in the absence of laws which impose a stricter regimen on what customer data social networking sites are permitted to make public and what not. As written in a Business Week headline,Facebook Privacy Woes Make Little Impact on Site’s Popularity:
"While privacy is a consideration for users, many are wedded to Facebook’s features, such as messaging, social gaming and running feeds of friends’ status updates. The average user creates 70 pieces of content monthly and is connected to 60 pages, groups and events, according to Facebook."The strategy of Facebook seems to approximate the same basic philosophy as followed by the major surviving Hollywood film studios, in fact the main reason for their survival, which was a strategy geared to pleasing the lowest common denominator, the same market group that drives mainstream television. Indeed, this strategy is the one which is successful for nearly any "mainstream" direction, including blogging, publishing, academia (academic schools of thought and "peer group pressure", also via "peer review") and yes, even the law (mainstream precedents represent the lowest common denominator, not the highest). To capture a "crowd" you have to pander to that crowd and Facebook is doing this better than anyone else at the moment.
