Did facebook just become like an ad-supported forum with google ads in the thread?

#12OH: "I, for one, welcome ads in the news feed. At least the ads will be more interesting than my friends' status updates."

#13Why in gods name would I want to pay to market to people who like my fb page? Those guys are super fans already, and I almost certainly have their email address. As much as I appreciate fbs intentions in making advertising unobtrusive, this holds no interest for me as a marketer. I want people who have not bought my app to see my ads; that's how I get paid.

#14Wonder how soon FB-specific ad blockers will be available as extensions for the major browsers?

I'm guessing AdBlock will take care of it. It already does for other Facebook ads.

Seriously? You can't think of the possibilities for a business to utilize this?
Think about a company you would "Like". Imagine they offer a new product or have a sale. This ad would appear, and their already-fans would flock to it.

Because you will reach their friends too? This is what I take from the article.

#18Fortunately Adblock should remove them.
It is funny, but I actually use it to block things that technically isn't ads almost as much as I block ads -- stackoverflows 'notification' bar, bitbuckets 'you have not validated your email', G+ stupid 'interesting stories that you properly care more about than your friends', etc.

Because they are the people most likely to buy additional products from you?
I mean, you are a fan of Nikon, perhaps you want a nice new lens to go with that?
A fan of B&J? You should come in a little bit more often.

#20"First, you must have already Liked Ben & Jerry’s Facebook Page, or one of your friends must have interacted with Ben & Jerry’s Page." So if I remember all friend who "like" things, I won't be served ads? I am okay with this.
Did I say "remember"? I meant "remove". My fingers just do their own thing sometimes.
