(ZDNet/Rich Harris) "I was wondering how aggressive and granular Facebook would allow contextual advertising to get. With the latest talk of Facebook’s “Sponsored Stories,” I think they make it clear that no content must go unadvertised. Right now there’s a battle on Facebook between quality personal user experience and methodical ad revenue implementation.

That's how this interesting article begins. Read all of it to see how we're being manipulated.
