I've always wondered that. Facebook not to talk about Yahoo know a lot about their users and yet their ads are really lagging behind. Maybe they are being held back by privacy concerns.
- dangoldin 19y agoI agree entirely. First of, I am just seeing a very limited number of ads on the left hand side of the screen and they are all dating related - kind of disheartening - but this may come from being a young single guy. Is anyone from different age groups seeing any different ads?
- lg 19y agoi sent a message to a friend about moving to boston, and got a boston real estate ad a couple pageviews later. I also get programming job ads (i'm graduating this year). But yeah, there's usually a girl with a come-hither gaze.
- dangoldin 19y agoHmm, so there is something more advanced that my dormant self isn't getting - definitely interesting! Unfortunately, there is no way to write a facebook app to capture the displayed ads - but I think it would be possible with a firefox plug in...
- budu3 19y agoWow, I guess I'm really boring them. Coz all I get are those lusty dating site ads.
- sanswork 19y agoFacebook doesn't target most of their ads the people creating them do. Go log onto facebook, scroll to the bottom click advertise then create an ad. You can to target region, gender, age, and a few other things(keywords, status, etc).
