More on Facebook Ads

Facebook’s Brilliant but Evil design: "As Ethan and David mention, the defaults for this system are wrong. Though Facebook can talk a pretty game, what they’re doing feels like a step down the slippery slope of evil."

I really haven't thought about this enough to know where I come down on this. My early initial thought is that it would be better if on first use of each 3rd party, facebook sends you a notification (they are already very good at that) asking what your preferences are for this 3rd party. Yeah that will have few participants, but then again, it will just eliminate those that don't want to participate.
