This is pretty interesting, not like we didn't know that we are the product, not the user at Facebook.

Be sure to check out this link within the story.

Like everything else in the digital universe, FB is, above all else, a marketing tool, which for the foreseeable future ensures its function as a profit center. Nice work if you can get it.

I find myself in a love/hate relationship with it. Using it while not enjoying it personally, but marketing on it and convincing clients to do the same.

BTW, been trying the new look. Meh... SOSDD, AFAIC.

I very rarely do likes. Can't remember when the last time was. Only get on face book every other day or so.

So if you click the "you are what you like" link and sign in, you're in effect "liking" that page. To quote my favorite movie, "I smell a rat."*
