  • Ana has a bit of a self entitlement attitude. 'MY profile' yeah, your profile... ON THEIR SITE. Facebook doesn't owe its users ANYTHING. You agreed to the eua, tough shit if you don't like what they are doing with your pics/info.

  • the "cut" is getting to use facebook for free...

  • I love lamp... I love... Desk.

  • sorry Ana, but by clicking like on a product or link on facebook, U basicaly consent to letting all your freinds know what your likes are!

  • She's pissed off because of the "Ana likes Vagisil" ad.

  • She pretty much contradicted herself. She stated that the reason people like advertisements in the first place is to let people learn about them and to maybe get offers and updates. So if you dont want other people to know you like Pepsi then don't go on the Fanpage to like them. Also it's not like Pepsi is using you as an advertisement, Facebook is. Facebook tells us stuff all the time about others without permission. Basically don't post anything you don't want to share with others, simple.

  • Facebook is free to use, Thus it is the ads that help generate their revenue! Ana: would U rather they impose a user fee for their service?

    The downside may be that , now all your freinds know your likes, and U may get nothing but Clorox for your birthday:) Upside is : maybe U want your freinds to know your wish list?.

  • Sorry Ana, this one's 100% a "suit yourself"-situation

  • We like products because their company pages will usually have giveaways for free stuff.
