It was nice to see the analytics FB provided on the number of views. I definitely understand the author's reasoning that most people like him will probably have no desire to spend $7 to promote a random status update, photo, or post. I imagine though that this feature is more targeted towards FB pages like businesses, bands, groups, etc. I for one will be using it personally to promote my brother's clothing brand and its current Kickstarter campaign (shameless plug: http://goo.gl/QTzn5 http://goo.gl/QTzn5). For a small business, $7 for some extra exposure is well worth it if you have a few thousand followers.
