These ads are annoying. While I am watching a video or TV show online I don’t to hear about viagra in the middle of the video. Because of these stupid ads on facebook, myspace, youtube, I have almost stopped using the internet. There are the annoying “Congradulations you have just won a free Ipod Touch” (Which to me says “Congradulations I am never buying and Ipod Touch”)

Good post. Most folks using social media have zero clue on how to use it appropriately to say the least.

Excellent post Jordan. At Buddy Media we believe the branded application, indeed a form of web content, will be the new ad unit. While a fan page is a great and free way for brands to establish a presence on Facebook, apps can actually augment the page and provide engaging entertainment that consumers expect in this social environment–and ultimately drive social brand loyalty. In fact, the data we’ve seen from our BuddyBrain analytics tool, which tracks our branded app-vertisements, shows that users spent an average of 2 minutes, 35 seconds interacting with a branded application. This engagement is 75x’s greater than the time consumers spend interacting with traditional banner ads and 5x’s greater than the time consumers spend interacting with TV ads.

If it’s either a) put up with advertising, or b) pay for previously free sites, I’ll pick (a) any day of the week.

B2C ads would work best in this arena. I can't see social networking sites as a viable option for B2B firms. Morgan's last blog post..Office Equipment/Machine Manuals: Available For Download From Office Zone

An “official poll” suddenly appeared on all Facebook users’ home page mini-feed today asking this question:

“Do you mind seeing ads on Facebook?”

75% said yes, THEY DID MIND.
24% said no.

Either someone’s getting their numbers mixed up, or Facebook’s official poll just showed how Facebook users really feel about its ads.

OK, so survey respondents "didn't mind seeing ads"; but how does that speak to how effective those ads are? I don't mind seeing a few ads while I'm on Facebook, but it doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to click on them. If you're talking about a company creating a Facebook app or fan page with interactive, engaging content, then yes it can certainly be effective in the sense that the marketing message will be absorbed and an action will be taken.

What about ages?
I find it obvious that the 12 years punks spending time on MySpace are not disturbed by the half naked women ads
