I joined facebook at the weekend and already the ads are starting to annoy me. The ‘Shocking diet secret’ in particular, with an image of Angelina Jolie, then if you click on the ad, it’s just some regular Jane whose blogging about her weight-loss progress.

the 59 year old male’s ads are bizarre!

Like the content, your blog is appearing out of sync in internet explorer 7, or else it is just my laptop. Saw you wanted feedback via the IIA blog . It appears as if the small text is overwriting the headings.

Oh my goodness me! I never even look at the targeted ads. I’m in marketing and generally look at the ads. I guess when I’m in facebook mode, I tend to look at what what my friends are doing, rather than the ads!

I wonder now if I’ll be looking at them now. Esp. as my attention has now been drawn to them. ahh!!!!

I’ll let you know!

I’m sick of Facebook targeted ads. I use Facebook less and less because of them. I’m keeping my belly fat for the cold weather thank you very much. Nice post & the site design is cool. Have subbed to this site now, so the pressure is on

Ahh, Teeth whitening. That particular subject seems like the only thing my 30something year old male friends talk about. But drat… you removed the link! My search will continue.
