[...] Facebook Meets Madison Ave (and No One Likes It)The Buzz BinIâ€™m hoping to pull together my own thoughts on the highly controversial Facebook Beacon application, which has some users crying foul over invasions into their privacy. In the meantime, check out Geoff Livingstonâ€™s take. While I think generally, that there is absolutely no such thing as privacy on the Internet, and that conducting any sort of activity online (from banking to socializing) is a complete crapshoot for the privacy-conscious, Geoff thinks that Facebook has surrendered itself to Madison Avenue and put ad revenue before the needs of its communityâ€”and that the decision will hurt them. â€œMarketers and companies must understand itâ€™s a fractured media environment and that consumers have Millions of Choices.

His was a successful, well-know and well-respected business of its time.

Geez! How little we learn…
