Vampires, Zombies apps… that’s evil. I actually removed one of my friends (admittedly not a close one) because I was getting too many of those damn invitations. I suspect that I’d do the same if my Newsfeed ends up loaded with a bunch of Pepsi ads.

Not being able to delete your profile if you decide to get out, is evil.

The consumer always have the power. We just have to use it.

For the record I do support the idea of Facebook making money for proving their service but they don’t have to force me into taking part into their experiment.

They only way to opt-out is to pressure your friends not to opt-in. I say everyone that is concerned about this should send out a bulletin telling their friends that they would prefer not to get these feeds. If enough people show dislike friends or wannabe friends will not do it because of the fear that you may de-friend them.

Hell yeah. I don’t people to know everything I’m a fan of. I also don’t want to know about what other people do with their brand unless I opted in. My newsfeed is valuable because it has relevant information about my friends in it. Being an advance user of facebook makes it difficult to accept this without having the feature to limit/opt-out.
