No, there are not many on the actual home page, but goto somebodies profile and look down the right hand side of the screen?
although I say not many on the home page... there are still a few though, I just turned my ad blocker off and got an ad for a nokia phone, MSN advertises on there, as does apple and some other very big firms.
with 175million users they can charge huge amounts for an advert on facebook.
leg I have been on face book for a couple of years now and use my main email address for it, I am obviously very careful where else I use that address and I get 0 spam to my email so really don't think facebook sells user details for to third parties.
Chuck thats with other companies.
But if facebook or anyone owns another company then they can legitemately share the information.
simple reason being they use the same database to store information and they are the same comapny.
Only thing i found starnge wa reading thta when you delete your account they still hold all your details on their servers .you need to email saying you want everything completely removed .
otherwise if you go to rejoin , just tyope in your email addy and the accounts reactivated.
i was surprised and think its unusual if its true.
a race of small green aliens that are all called Burt landing in Accrington Stanley isn't beyond the realms of possibility.
Facebook is an American site and therefore covered by American privacy laws and they are far stricter than ours are, facebook would be hung drawn a quartered by the American courts if they where to ever sell personal user information.
incidently although tesco may hold one of the larger, if not largest consumer information database one of the worst offenders in this country for selling on customer information is BT
tesco dont sell it on.
they have now enough companies telecoms insurance travel money etc etc etc that are undoubtedly using the information.
and quite legally too
if i was facebook i might sell info on users in a certain demographic to mobile phone companies , say like 3 , who sell mobiles that you can get facebook on
theres a facbook phoen at 3 and only about 80 quid
of course facebook could claim a finders fee and 3 could get call money
Chuck...I think your aliens landing in Accrington Stanley is a bit of a longshot, Accrington maybe, but to land "in" a football team is going to take a lot of planning
I have been on facebook for a while and recently I became a fan of Yoville ( yes I am sad ) and pet society ,on these games if you want to buy things you can use the money you make on the game, but if you run out of money to play or want something badly you can buy money through pay pal Im sure facebook must get something back if this helps?
