They’ve known this all along. They should be in jail for putting out false information in their IPO.

It better not be - it has two cats that live with it.

Neither of them are on Facebook - they consider it a waste of time that could be better spent taking a nap.

Facebook members grew to 955 million this year.

1/6th of the world is on facebook. Right.

Why weren’t ‘real users’ important when they offered stock in the company?

Reminds me when Myspace dropped the registration age from 18 down to 13 a few months before they IPOed the stock to boost the number of users. Didn't the stock drop to half the price within a year (as liberals abandoned the NewsCorp owned company)?

If I thought Obama was in pay per click mode, ...

He might be. How would we know?

... I would hit his adds every time I saw one.

That's akin to sending a load of sh*t back to AARP in their Postage Paid Business Reply Envelope every time they send an offer to join. I like it!

So, I'd consider clicking his ads, just in case. But, I have add-ons to block ads in my browsers and I'm not sure I care to disable them.

Unless users live as non-opinionated Saints and especially when visiting fb, they are insane to advertise their lives on the Internet like that.

My husband foresaw the consequences of opening one’s life to FB and forbid anyone from doing it.

One son took his warning; the other opened an account once he got into college. He was soon sorry. His dad collected some pics the kid really did not want to share with dear ole dad. The story is, mom has not seen them. :)

I have a “real” FB account on which I post nothing but links to articles referenced by FR; there’s no point in posting anything else since the discourse of my “friends” is otherwise too insipid to bother with. And I have a “fake” FB account I use exclusively to access dozens of sites that allow commentary. The “fake” account uses one of my noms de guerre (war names)for such commentary. The “fake” FB account also keeps my “real” FB account from being consumed by all the FB crap injected by the commentary sites.

“The dog has about 50 friends who are cats and dogs.”

Wow! I’m impressed! Your dog has more FB “friends” than I do!
