If I google "facebook games" I see a few AdWords listed. If a Google user clicks those ads, it's not like that will drive the user away from Google search. But if someone on Facebook has an ad that reads "Julio Fernandez moved to Google+ ...", then that is driving users away from Facebook. I don't see why a company should facilitate a mass exodus toward a competing service. I don't use Facebook and think they're kind of creepy, but I can't fault them for this.
- perlpimp 15y agoGoogle+ is not Facebook. Nor it will ever be. The only hope google has is not to make a better facebook, but to change rules of the game. There will be no exodus from facebook. Evolution moves at its own pace, regardless of facebook or google. Only those that go in step with evolution will flourish. As such exodus from facebook will never happen. Though young and bright - most lucrative section of advertising market might just go and do something else. Restriction seems to always backfire as in this case, it may well play out. just 2c
- Daniel_Newby 15y agoDownvotes should be reserved for off-topic or badly-expressed comments. If you disagree, click "reply" and educate me. There will be no exodus from facebook. It is likely that this ad ban was instigated by watching Facebook pageviews plummet, and by watching contagious defection spread through their userbase.
- erikb 15y agoI gave u an up for both of ur posts. I really hate these opinion based downvotes. It is really not what it is meant for. My upvotes are more a delete of false downvotes. They are not meant as a support for ur point, btw.
- patrickaljord 15y agoI saw a facebook ad on gmail though, and facebook does offer an email product too.
