Pornographic ads on Facebook (that didn't take long)
It was just a month ago that Facebook launched it's questionable advertising initiatives and people are already gaming the system...with porn! (There's a photo in the Valleywag post if you are curious. It's NSFW but not that bad.)
MoveOn.org is protesting the ads that reveal information about user activity and now the smut peddlers are taking over. Never a dull moment.
It kinda makes me wish I had done a goofy social network company instead of something practical like enterprise software.
Sigh.
