Apparently, Facebook advertising can be very effective, as evidenced by the Samsung campaign. I have one question though...my FB page showed that I "liked" Samsung. I did not. How did that happen? I know that their ads kept appearing on my page, showing that some of my friends "liked" Samsung.
I've had a lot of friends complaining about this on FB lately -- that they "like" things they never actually clicked "Like" for. When wiggy stuff like this starts to happen, it's usually a good sign that there are changes coming down the pipeline.
Happened across this yesterday. Doesn't really clear a lot of things up (no shocker there) but it's good to know that we're not alone. http://readwrite.com/2012/12/11/why-are-dead-people-liking-stuff-on-facebook

Great share! As with everyone else, I find that this is happening to me more and more. Incredibly weird and shady, especially if companies are paying to get those forced "Likes."

That Samsung campaign is particularly noticeable. It's everywhere!
Thanks for the link, Nick. The article also highlighted the promoted post (I'm not a promoted post fan as a marketer or user; I think advertisements belong on the side, not the newsfeed) and the common complaint from organizations that more and more of their posts are being filtered.

12/07 at 04:36 PM (4298)The newsfeed. Each time, I clicked on the thingy to hide the post. Later I noticed that Samsung was listed as one of my "likes."
That's a very odd problem. Facebook seems to have a mind of its own sometimes.

12/17 at 04:33 PM (4380)I'm with you Renee. The promoted post is terrible -- as both a consumer and a Facebook page owner.
