So imagine Facebook advertiser Joshua Niamehr’s surprise when he logged into his Facebook ad campaign and saw the following notice:
Oops, Facebook Advertiser Gets A Mysterious Bill For $8.8 Million
“Zuckerberg sometimes amused himself by conducting experiments. For instance, he concluded that by examining friend relationships and communications patterns he could determine with about 33 percent accuracy who a user was going to be in a relationship with a week from now. To deduce this he studied who was looking which profiles, who your friends were friends with, and who was newly single, among other indicators.” – David Kirkpatrick’s The Facebook Effect Dan Loewenherz was sitting up one night with fiance and his mom, trying to conjure up a guy to set up with his fiance’s sister. They finally came up with the perfect guy, enthusiastically checked the guy’s Facebook profile and to much disappointment, saw that he was in a relationship.

She is a model for a stock photo agency. A designer for the Ulster Conservatives and Unionists party recognized the stock photo and wasted no time in setting up a response with another image from the same set: D’oh! Just on a lark, I zipped over to iStockPhoto and searched for “woman.” There were more than 837,000 hits.
