I quit hitting the “like” button after about two weeks on facebook. I noticed if I clicked that I “liked” something I would start getting advertisements on that topic which would follow me around from page to page on the internet. Now I never even comment on facebook. I just follow my friend’s posts.

Some good tips. I just went into my profile and unliked all kinds of things.

When you “like” something, you tell facebook you want to see more of whatever you liked. Go ahead and like you friends’ uploads. But beware: many of your friends “share” other people’s uploads. And its these people who are farming likes.

The other day a friend was telling me about some ‘story’ she read on facebook. I said you realize that 99% of that stuff is BS. She looked at me like I was nuts.

It’s important to leave these internet portals to the progressives so they can educate our youts and 20-somethings.

Facebook:

A phishing expedition masquerading as a “social networking” site.

All that said, I wish FreeRepublic had a “Like” button. Just a harmless one, where we could show a like or interest in a topic without having to make a post!

We dumped our Facebook accounts a few months back. The fact that none of what we posted was protected from the Facebook gods and others bothered us.

It has a Like button on Facebook ... if that is what you are referring to.

Facebook is the gummint’s way of getting you to write entries for your CIA & FBI dossiers.
