Afraid of Super Wall?

Just noticed this when Super Wall tried again (in vain) to be added by me. Not a chance!

“Afraid of abuse..?”

Wow, that’s pretty powerful. I must say I feel Facebook knows what’s going on inside it’s app and reacts pretty quickly to give customers the option to ditch evil stuff, like Super Wall.

Imagine the data that they must get from this? I wonder if Slide get to see it?

I was talking to Mr Jones about how Facebook is missing out on data by not letting users hide/ditch sponsored links in their news feed. If they click, at least you know they saw it and at least you know they didn’t really want it. Maybe it’s a case of if you collect it, the stats might be bad? I’d be surprised if FB took this line.

Social metrics is something I’m diving into right now and I’m enjoying the swim so far. Lots to learn (for everyone) but crucial stuff with broad applications. Everything from what is a friend worth to ‘does social networks make us happier?”

I’ll write more when I know more. In the meantime, collect everything and keep an eye on the forest and the trees (and branches and leaves and roots…)
