Welcome to the strange world of “like” recycling. Facebook has defined “like” in ways that depart from English usage. For instance, in the past Facebook has determined that:

1. Anyone who clicks on a “like” button is considered to have “liked” all future content from that source. So if you clicked a “like” button because someone shared a “Fashion Don’t” from Vice magazine, you may be surprised when your dad logs into Facebook three years later and is shown a current sponsored story from Vice.com like “Happy Masturbation Month!” or “How to Make it in Porn” with the endorsement that you like it. (Vice.com example is from Craig Condon [NSFW].)
2. Anyone who “likes” a comment on a shared link is considered to “like” wherever that link points to. a.k.a. “‘liking a share.” So if you see a (real) FB status update from a (real) friend and it says: “Yuck! The McLobster is a disgusting product idea!” and your (real) friend include a (real) link like this one – that means if you clicked “like” your friends may see McDonald’s ads in the future that include the phrase “(Your Name) likes McDonalds.” (This example is from ReadWriteWeb.)

(...)

A further caveat: note that the definition of “like” in Facebook’s software changes periodically and when they are sued. Facebook now has an opt-out setting for the above two “features.”

I was unknowingly participating in another Facebook program that converts organic status updates into ads. It does this by changing their order in the news feed and adding the text “Sponsored” in light gray, which is very hard to see.

les facebookers sont donc définitivement trop cons pour lire les URLs

Il y a plein de systèmes de paiement "alternatifs" qui ont éclos ces dernières années (je ne parle pas des cryptomonnaies, mais des concurrents de PayPal), c'est dans l'air du temps, mais les banques vont probablement tout faire pour que le pouvoir reste entre leurs mains.

Depuis quelques années, aux Etats-Unis, certaines salles d’opéra et de théâtre ont commencé à introduire des sièges réservés aux twittos : ceux-ci paient moins
cher leur place et s’engagent en contrepartie à « live-tweeter » (utiliser Twitter pour raconter en temps réel un évènement) le spectacle.
