Can't we dispense with the inflammatory and misleading headlines, PLEASE? As before, FB is selling space on your timeline, not the contents of it. This is comparable to the targeted ads Hotmail (if I recall) used to insert into outgoing emails. I don't like it, just as I didn't like ads in my email, but it's a far cry from what the headline implies.
- cienrak 15y agoThe headline isn't misleading. The piece is literally about how Facebook is pitching this big change to marketers.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoAccording to TFA, the ordering of your timeline is influenced by how much people pay Facebook. Sounds like selling my timeline to me.
