I get it, we're getting a free service and they need to make money at some point -- but judging how horrible the Facebook news feed has become, my hopes aren't exactly high for this next move. I suppose the one potential saving grace here is that it might encourage creative content from brands, as that will typically be the most rewarded. I'm quite impressed by what some brands have been able to accomplish with Vine.

How bad is your Facebook news feed? I get 1 suggested post for every page of statuses. (So if I scroll to the bottom to load new posts, I get 1 more suggested post) These are all somewhat relevant ads to me. One is for a dentist in my area, one is for a keychain cell phone charger, one is for instagram, and one is a company looking for IT jobs (which makes sense, since I'm a developer). There's the regular ads on the side, but those have been there for years and remain as relevant as the posts in my newsfeed. I've even clicked one of those ads and bought something. I'm just curious, because my experience with facebook ads is actually quite good. Maybe this is because my profile is somewhat more open than many so they can mine more data from it and I don't go around "liking" things that I don't actually want to get updates from.
