The Business of Facebook

How many times can U.S. institutions lie to you before you wake up, America?!

Oh, Facebook is a social site, you needn't worry about being sold things on the web.

Yeah, right!

I'm so tired of fascista corporations and governments wanting up my ass!!!!!!!!!

"Facebook adds marketing tool"

"by Associated Press | March 13, 2008

SAN FRANCISCO - Facebook Inc.'s popular online hangout so far has proven to be a better place for promoting fun and games than peddling products.

But a new application aims to pay Facebook members who help merchants sell to their friends. Market Lodge revolves around the notion that consumers are more likely to buy merchandise recommended by someone they know.

You are allegedly my friend, and now you are trying to hawk products for business on a social website?

You AIN'T MY FRIEND NO MORE!!!!

You see any advertisements on this blog, readers?

You ain't getting that shit in the ear with me; not those LYING MARKETERS!!!!

Market Lodge, made by a start-up called bSocial Networks Inc., will pay Facebook members a 10 percent commission on all sales made on their recommendations.

Facebook tried to capitalize on the bonds of friendship last year by introducing a marketing system that includes broadcasting product endorsements among people who know each other.

Is there a QUICKER WAY to destroy a friendship than money, readers?

The strategy hasn't paid off yet, largely because many of Facebook's users rebelled against a feature called "Beacon" that tracked and shared information about their purchases.

Oh, the PURPOSE of Facebook!!!!!

And you thought it was because the new lords of technology liked you, stoo-pid snot-nose!!!!

Facebook members who use Market Lodge can select from more than 1,200 products sold by about 50 different merchants."

That's great, huh?

Like I need more of my time being clogged up by deceptive marketers and business shysters!!!!

My only facebook is RIGHT HERE!

If I want to meet people, I will TALK TO THEM in PERSON!!!
