Turned out that I blocked all the ad companies in my HOSTS file centuries ago and didn't think about it at the time of my previous comments. ^_^ I logged onto facebook from a computer at school and low and behold, there were ads.

This news tells me that I'll want to spend more time with the latter, not the former. Thank you for sharing. I recently signed up with Facebook, just about the time I got things going with Linked In.

From Facebook's privacy page: <blockquote> "Facebook may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in a network like a band or movie and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you Facebook. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you and, where there are advertisements, they're more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put a favorite movie in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting a screening of a similar one in your town. But we don't tell the movie company who you are. </blockquote> http://www.facebook.com/policy.php @dan: perhaps. From Facebook’s privacy page:

Examples: -icanhascheezburger.com (yes, that lol cats site) fetches about $5,000 a month for just one of 4 tiny ads. -Friendster gets $883 a week just for a text link. How much do you think those little 'announcements' make now? :) @dan: once you are the size of a Facebook, you don’t need those little domain ads.

In terms of something like... "Domain names, 6.99 ea while supplies last" (0.o)? don't appear. Most of the promotions I see are in-network promos or ‘announcements’ of movies, etc that are upcoming.

As far as no ads, I often see skyscrapers on the left - not sure which version of Facebook you're using :) @dan: many sites try this sort of “open as you go” pattern.

It seems whenever they add options, by default they are as open as they can be. However, when you take into consideration that they have no ads (hmm... could they be selling personal information?) it all makes sense.
