Facebook has been putting a lot more ads in the newsfeed lately. I find it irritating because I can't just avoid them like I do with the ads on the right! These types of actions may lead more users to Google+

#82Somewhat off-topic, but this has been bugging me for years: for countries that use , instead of . in decimal numbers, how do they pronounce it? ie For the number 12.3 million, I could say "twelve point three million" or "twelve dot three million." For 12,3 million, do you say "twelve comma three million"?
Here in Brazil we do say "twelve comma three million", even tho our word for "comma" is much harder to say than our word for "dot". But since everyone says it, it just sounds natural anyway.
12.3, 7.6, 3.2
It's easy to see the three different numbers. But otherwise, wouldn't it be: 12,3, 7,6, 3,2

#88Sigh. We're drawing conclusions from Compete again? I've said this before and I'll say it again; using Compete for quantitative traffic comparisons is flawed, particularly with social sites that utilize embeddable content. Their data has been proven wrong countless times. Until recently, Compete claimed Reddit ( http://siteanalytics.compete.com/reddit.com/ ) had less traffic than Digg ( http://siteanalytics.compete.c…
Uh? It's actually saying reddit is bigger (1.8m) and growing, while digg is smaller (1.3m) and shrinking.

#89Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's akin to a grocer refusing cash and instead only accepting payments made with their branded store card, for the customer's benefit. I'm surprised there hasn't been a legal challenge to this.
