I usually refrain from liking each and every page or group on facebook, I don’t have any actual solid reason for this, I just don’t do it… nor do I join all groups that I am invited to, so don’t weep if I rejected your invitation to like something. Still, what happened today, was a bit strange for me.
I had finally bowed down to the awesomeness of the new Portal 2 game and started downloading the demo, as soon as the download started, I updated my facebook status:
Facebook Status: Downloading Portal 2
Nothing strange about that, I update my Facebook status regularly, more often then I tweet, but then I saw the Recommended Pages box on the right and it was showing the page for Portal and another game (Left 4 Dead) for me to LIKE………
Facebook is so damn intelligent that it figured out that I was downloading the game and it also knew I had already not LIKED it so it offered me to LIKE it, but why cant it detect that I am one of those who dont LIKE pages.
Here is the screenshot, as you can see, only a couple of seconds have passed since I had updated my status, even the Ads in Gmail appear a bit late when compared to this, I think Facebook is gonna soon beat Google in Contextual Ads or has it already beaten….
Too desperate if you ask me, but GOLD in terms of contextual advertising
comment bhi kar hi dain.. :P
