Post Race!

Guys....I'm surprised nobody has clarified this.

Facebook's product is not the platform, nor is it the news and information, nor it their business about providing groups for interaction. Their product is people. They sell access to the people that are on their platform. More importantly, they are data mining and studying social engineering so as to be able to target the people who are on their platform. This targeting of people is what they sell. The people (you and everyone that goes onto Facebook) are their product. Facebook is learning more about individuals than most individuals know about themselves.

Google said "do no evil". You never heard Facebook say that.....

Why is FB a good sales platform? Because they know their product...

I wonder what we'd learn if we ran the posts from everyone in this thread through Facebook's algorithms for learning about people.....

BonkerGud would break that algorithm

Yeah, that's a key point, and one we often overlook. People use FB, FB uses people. The two aren't the same, nor are the objectives of the parties.

Finally a day of sun!! No rain for a week! :D

Wouldn't know.

A day without windows is a day where you don't whither the weather.

A day without Windows is a day when you need a Mac.

I do...

I don't own their business, but I own my own.

Brad!
(to clarify, I have an LLC)

I do but mainly for tax reasons as I'm a contractor. It's worth being limited and I am definitely limited.
