Facebook Now Reco'ing Likes Against Other Likes?


Saw these along my right-hand column today. The text under each of the headers reads (in English), "people that like [something I already Like] also like this."

I will indeed Like "Where the Wild Things Are." One out of two, for a feature I've never seen before, ain't bad.

I have no problem with this on Facebook. I know. You are shocked. Big bad Howie Facebook Basher approves of something they did. I refuse to let Facebook.net run on my browser. I refuse to Like anything off the Facebook site. But I do Like on Facebook. It doesn't fix the biggest flaw of the site which is that Fan Page posts show up in a stream that has such high volume most posts are never seen or read. Like 80% or more. But I have been working with a Brand doing their Fan page and it is VERY hard to gain fans. Just like the big pages with 1 million fans have such a hard time getting more than 50 people to comment on a post except for very special pages of bands, DJ's and causes.

I remember seeing a Nabsico post getting 25 likes and 20 comments over a 2 day span while the Chemical Brothers got 750 Likes in 2 hrs after posting their new song!

Also since Facebook chose the Advertising Business Model the numbers really suck. When only 1 of 2 people each day comment, update or like a comment, and the numbers show people only Like/Join a Fan Page 2.5 times per month.

I also see Facebook scrubbed all the numbers from their Stats page that exposed all this low activity!
Huzzzzah!

That said this new feature is no different than Amazon or Netflix recommendations.
