Um... Re: Facebook Deals?

Um, am I the only person who didn't know about this???  

There are some good deals on there for Dallas right now!

Beer Tastings, Dance Lessons, Comedy Club tickets, pole fitness classes, aquatic boot camp, steam rooms, and NKOTB and BSB tickets?!

 

Re: Um... Re: Facebook Deals?

  • I saw 8 of friends signed up for this today, and I didn't look into the details of it as I hate FB apps that try to pry into your personal info.. but if this is legit then it might be cool.. Too bad, I already have my NKTOB tickets. ;)

  • LOL. I saw that when I logged in and automatically clicked "ignore".

    Ditto Kathy. I hate FB advertising and apps of any kind. Just let me talk to people and do my thing, and leave me alone otherwise. Stop trying to be a "marketplace."

  • Mine didn't prompt me.... I had to click on it.  It didn't make me load any special app either?

    Hmm, oh well.

  • It is not a 3rd party app.  It is Facebook trying to branch out and compete with Groupon.  Just as they did with checkins and trying to compete with foursquare.

    Their business model is making money by you clicking on the adds.  The more people are on their page, the more they see the adds, the more they might click on an add.  So adding features that are similar to established web/app businesses will in theory bring you to their page more.

    Yes, I know it's not a 3rd party app. It's still equally annoying. As is "checking in", IMO.

  • I go to FB to read updates on my friends/family and look at wedding pictures and that's it.  I ignore everything else.
  • Sorry I brought it up. :(

    :( If it makes you feel any better I plan on checking it out tonight.  I heard about it on KKITM and it sounded interesting to me.

    Awww, I saw it!  :)  I just ignored it because like someone else said, I hate when FB asks me to sign up for something or pull my info., etc. so I just stopped clicking on anything like that and strictly read the news feed and that's it.

  •  Here is another article that talks about it.  sorry if I'm all geeked out about this, it is stuff I pay extra attention to with my new job.
