AB and FB

[rsvp]

I'm sure this is a silly question but why are there suddenly some AB threads on my FB page?

[mccfluff]

do you have ab as a friend on fb?

[ChuckFickens]

So rsvp has added ab on fb on the qt?

[mccfluff]

noyb

[rsvp]

very droll CF and mcf - to answer the first reply, no I don't have AB as a FB friend.

[mccfluff]

that's me out then

[AB Editor]

Maybe Facebook thought you'd like to see some things we'd posted. Maybe one of your friends is a friend with us, and liked something we posted or liked?

Facebook moves in mysterious ways.

well I wish FB would bally well stop thinking for me and remember it's there to suit me, not the other way around.

[rsvp]

sorry ED - thank you for the reply

[AB Editor]

"well I wish FB would bally well stop thinking for me and remember it's there to suit me, not the other way around."

I agree. It's like someone you think knows you quite well buying you the wrong drink every time they go to the bar...

[ummmm]

It's not there to suit you. It's free...it's there to suit the owners and advertisers.

[sunny-dave]

... and whilst the esteemed and revered Ab Editor is here - did you get my message about 'the group'?

[Frank97]

Is this the correct AB FB page?

"and remember it's there to suit me, not the other way around."
Where on earth did you get that idea?

[Answerprancer]

"I wish FB would bally well stop thinking for me and remember it's there to suit me" you obviously haven't realised that (as a FB user) you are "the product". The customers being all the advertisers/app makers.
FB will do as it pleases and you and I and all the other users are effectively expendible puppets.

[jno]

you could of course replace FB with AB in the last few posts...

[daffy654]

D97, that is the correct AB page on FB. I don't know why rsvp said it isn't.

[rsvp]

rojash I look upon FB as something I choose to use in a very limited way as it enables me to keep in touch with family abroad on a day to day basis. As ummmmm quite rightly pointed out, it's free as the advertisers want people on the site and, having given it some thought, I agree with ummmm that from their (the advertisers) pov it's there to suit them and not me but I play the game by glancing at the ads. I was just curious as to how and why certain threads from AB appeared on my FB page. Threads which I hadn't even subscribed to.
