Facebook isn't quite that powerful yet. I say who cares? So what if they target ads towards your browsing search - those ads only show up on your login... its not like they post the ads for all your friends to see so other people would know what you are searching for. Big deal!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shannon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 3:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[nothing sacred]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Not Nee Freddy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 3:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is a perfect example as to why I would never become a member of Facebook.  Anyone who becomes a member is either very insecure and/or very lonely.  Facebook is only for those people who cannot get a friend any other way, and love to boast about themselves.  In other words...conceaded, arrogant, and self-centered people   REALITY CHECK...sites like these are built around advertising and taking advantage of ignorant, lonely people who love to put themselves out there for the whole world to take advantage of.  When will people learn...<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Reality Check]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 4:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, you are on AOL, so isn't much difference in my opinion.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[WVBEERMAN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 4:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[you are a loser...its a personal choice to join facebook..and its a nice place to socialize with friends that you haven't seen, or that live far away...I think you are really on facebook...but have no friends...lol]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Julie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 5:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[Apparently you have no concept of what Facebook offers or how it works. After requesting to be connected to someone, they have to approve the connection - meaning they know you or you are joining a Fan page of a business, etc. My extremely large family live on the East Coast, I'm on the West - ideal way for all of us to communicate to the masses without worrying about time zones, especially keeping up with elderly relative's health & care. Ideal way to keep up with community events, friends promotions, etc. Having so many real friends & family with a convenient way to speak to them at any odd hour of the day between 80 hrs of work = I am NOT insecure or lonely but very much loved and up to date with their events. I'll bet the majority of the active Facebook users would agree.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 5:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[For you to comment on anything]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[charity]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 5:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[i feel the need to disagree with every word that you wrote down..not only do i have friends on facebook that i may see day to day, but i have family, i dont get to see that often & reconnecting with friends i havent seen in a good 10 years. i also have to defend myself saying no, im not insecure but just the exact opposite. i have many friends, co-workers, etc not to mention a wonderful husband, so that eliminates the lonely part. i am also a registered nurse and hold a full time job sometimes exceeding 50 + hours, id like to imagine that youre the kind of person who sits on their ass doing nothing all day complaining about the world, but not doing anything to change it and/or your environment..get a life and stop trash talking things you know nothing about.<br><br><br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[reeses90]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 5:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[Your pretty much dead on. You also have to add if your under 40 on facebook your a looser kinda like twitter. The only legit use is for companys advertsing but if your there and updating daily or on twitter writing your web diaray then yeah you have no life at all....And to the dummies below aol is completely different .Its internet access with email and its free so its just a port hole to the web. You dont post your looser life every 5 minutes lol]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sekinu2]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 6:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[Obviously you can't get a friend or you wouldn't be on AOL telling people your view on things, or you are just self-centered and want some attention! You must be very insecure and lonely to be babbling on to people you don't know....time for you to get a "reality check!"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian Campbell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 6:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[Welcome to the electronic age, moron. Facebook is a social networking site that started as a website directed towards college and high school aged kids. It's not for "losers" by any stretch. Facebook allows friends and families to stay in touch when they live far away. Also, Facebook is a chance for people who are insecure to maybe step out of their shell and meet people and not be unhappy because they can't make friends like someone who is as socially well adjusted as you... Perhaps we should get rid of dating sites too, or maybe youtube? I mean let's face it, anyone who is making a profile on a dating site is just full of themselves and wants some attractive to take notice, and youtube is for self important people who think their lives are more worth watching than yours... Seriously man, you're the one who needs a reality check. You don't like a website, then that's fine, but don't call the millions of people who visit this website "losers." Something tells me I could find something in your browsing history that other people don't like, but that doesn't make you a "loser."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MGDavis73]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 8:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[actually if you would step back and look at what you just said... FACEBOOK IS FOR PEOPLE TO RECONNECT TOO..... dont be stupid. facebook is a place to meet new friends, joke around and have a good time. if your just mad because you tried to have a facebook but could only get 2 friends that is your problem but dont go around bad mouthing facebook. your pathetic. and if you seriously are against people posting things to "boast" themselves then maybe you should have never made that comment because all you are trying to do is make yourself sound better then everyone that has a facebook. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rich]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2010 10:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[Facebook isn't just for trying to find a mate(or a date!),  My family is scattered all over the country.  Plus old Navy buddies and High School friends.

Facebook isnt for the lonely.. I found friends that I have lost touch with 20 yrs ago that I have tried every other way of finding. Maybe it is you who is lonely posting your judgemental comment here in hopes someone will answer you like myself so you may have someone to pass your boring life with.. Either that or maybe you did try facebook and no one wanted to be your friend and that is why you are so lonely. Done judge or assume unless YOU want to be judged and want people to assume things about you.. Just Saying.. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lori]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 20th 2010 1:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Launching Ads Based on Your Browsing History]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/19/facebook-launching-ads-based-on-your-browsing-history/</guid><description><![CDATA[Please you are apparently an idiot.
