Yes... or at least understand the F@ceBook defaults and options, including

If you are on mobile, it tracks your physical location

Paranoid rants aside, since joining facebook, I've got laid with two women* in ways that would not have happened without FB.

*Not at the same time!

Anyone else seen the "new" layout?

what ways is what I'm wondering about, not the identities of the women. I mean, I know that FB fucks with you, with all of us really.

at FB parenting.

V it just that the contacts were either developed or maintained via FB that led to the eventual actions. The actions themselves were .. actually, come to think of it, they were a bit out-of-the-ordinary too. all I'm sayin'.

There has to be money driving this. How do FB page owners make money by getting people to comment on this stuff?

Glatt, pages that have lots of likes, comments or responses to their posts can be sold. The subject or theme of the page is then changed to a commercial product which automatically has a "following". That's how I understand it, anyway ...
