Facebook egregiously overstated the success of videos posted to its social network for years, exaggerating the time spent watching them by as much as 900 percent, a new legal filing claims. Citing 80,000 pages of internal Facebook documents, aggrieved advertisers further allege that the company knew about the problem for at least a year and did nothing… link |

Sounds like it was on the FACE of it. |

And you are asking because?
Mr Z has already pretty much claimed to be a state, so does this break the politics rule? :) |

That's funny Bill…I was just reading that article and wondering the same thing….. |

If Mr Z claims to be a head of state, he dresses like a bum.
I've never been a Facebook citizen. |

So … do people watch videos on Facebook? I had no idea. I'm pretty happy with the company's stock performance, though. When the market dropped yesterday, I bought some more. |

Does any advertiser seriously believe they know what they're doing?? I mean, take a commercial for example. Sure, the advertiser knows how many homes the commercial was broadcast in, but do they know how many people *saw* the commercial, or even paid attention do it? Do they know how many people bought the product as a result of it? Doubt it. Yet, despite having little evidence that their commercial worked, they're still paying good money to broadcast them. Anyone remember webpage banners? They were everywhere until advertisers found out they didn't work. Which meant that, at one point, advertisers were spending good money on them without knowing what they were doing. So do videos work? I bet advertisers still have no idea, any more than they do with commercials. Yet they still think they know what they're doing. Which reminds me. I need to update my Hosts file. link |
