Dating sites looking for ways to extract value from members might want to consider Ads Captcha. Can’t believe nobody thought of that until now.

Deleted 150 apps from Facebook, many of them dating-related. Application diligence is important to keep your activity stream manageable. I do like to check out Zoosk and Are You Interested from time to time. Both are popular distractions whose profitability and popularity does not correlate with their effectiveness.
Facebook has a long way to go when it comes to making it easy for people to manage their personal privacy settings. How would you like it if your wife showed up in a dating ad on Facebook.
Unrelated but interesting: Adverlab discovered that certain trigger keywords that relate to disasters kill contextual text ads in Gmail.

That facebook ad with the guys wife showing up was not done from the self-serve ad platform. That was definitely some facebook app that is probably violating the TOS. The screen shot example they showed is definitely not a self-serve FB ad. I do a lot of those and only use paid stock photos.
I saw another article claiming the same thing and the ad they showed was from some other site entirely not even facebook. They said facebook but it was more like they didn’t fact check and the guy complaining doesnt know the difference between the internet and facebook or he had some adware on his system.
jn thanks for the clarification.
Adverb “discovered” it? Google admitted this themselves AGES ago.
OMG, a married woman I know also showed up in a dating ad with her cute girl-friends. Something fishy is definitely going on with Facebook. There was an issue with Craigslist recently in the Boston area where a Mom’s baby was pictured in an Ad for adoption from a fake Ad agency. I’m very curious how these Spammers and Scammers are getting the photos and if they know more info about you. Could it be virus or malware-related?
