If you're on facebook, you probably don't have anything to do anyways (or you do and you're avoiding doing it), so why not watch a couple of advertisements if you get something in return? The only thing you have to lose is a little bit of time, which is worth more to some than others. This is a smart move for Facebook, in my opinion. It doesn't mean that EVERYONE is going to watch these ads, but more people are going to watch them than before because they're gaining something from it.Abbie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09018881384280805325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026938538683445773.post-9256682698576844212011-10-09T16:12:16.619-07:002011-10-09T16:12:16.619-07:00This is a very interesting post.

About 41.6% of Americans have a Facebook account, at least a couple million people will be watching these and if they are really entertaining then it will stay with the viewer and might buy the product. This is a great idea for both Facebook users, Facebook, and Sharethrough.Deven P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10296989408344397184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026938538683445773.post-60498298220747842782011-10-08T13:53:18.270-07:002011-10-08T13:53:18.270-07:00This could potentially be a bad idea for facebook....This could potentially be a bad idea for facebook. What if users don't buy into watching advertisements? Companies could see how little attention facebook users look into ads and pull their advertisement investments all together. Even if its on a per click fee basis all of the advertisement fees that go into making a comercial could be seen as a waste.mrkennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612922588908240072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026938538683445773.post-78286345335710204492011-09-16T12:08:11.397-07:002011-09-16T12:08:11.397-07:00This article is very interesting, and poses a few ...This article is very interesting, and poses a few questions. For example, could people take advantage of this opporitunity by watching more than one ad at once? If so, this could be a problem. Is it possible to watch more than one ad in the first place? I'm not one with a facebook account, so I don't know how it works exactly, but, being a little cynical, I can't help but wondering if this idea could be taken advantage of by greedy individuals . . . But back on the subject of the article, I think that this writer has brought up something both thought-invoking and informative, a topic I'm interested to find out more about . . . Thank you for creating such an interesting blog.<br /><br />SterlingHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
