Yes, when you use Facebook, you will see ads targeted to information you have given them. I don't know, but if I have to see ads, I'd rather see ads that have some chance of being relevant to me. There are quite a few get-rich-quick ads, but they are confined to the right column and standard rules of common sense apply. At least the site is relatively crisply laid out and devoid of animated GIFs. As per being relevant to GNHLUG: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17437104832 Here's a better link to the Bell Labs Unix Time event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?sid=184869022bae0c8a58b76d4ecee5fe21&eid=10378926406 For what it's worth, I just joined Facebook earlier this weekend, and then I was able to get in contact with someone from high school. I learned that I missed out on the 10-year high school reunion. I had updated my contact info on the official alumni site, but I hadn't joined Facebook, so they couldn't find me. Of our graduating class of 270, 124 are members of Facebook. So yes, go where the people are.
