Interesting they don’t call it a ‘social network’. ‘content ad network’ is more accurate in my opinion.
- robert_foss 10y agoMaybe we should adopt the term? "Content ad network" does have a certain ring to it.
- gooseus 10y agoI concur, even before there was widespread corporate advertising my impression of "social networking" was that it was more about advertising your personal activities and beliefs to your network than actually socializing within it.

- Solinoid 10y agoI believe that was coined by theregister.co.uk ^1, a fine source for quality wordplay and tech news/opinion. Unfortunately fondleslab never took off for tablet. ^1 I may be wrong
- hood_syntax 10y agoOoh, fondleslab is a good one.
- amelius 10y agoNo it is a telecommunications network. As per the law, ads and content-snooping don't belong on it.
