Thu, 26 Nov 2009 06:46:36 +0000 http://blog.thekbuzz.com/?p=599#comment-11821 This post is dumb, and John is right. Even legitimately, and within the ToS, any user with a website can create one of these Pages. Say I have a site at http://dumbpost.com I can setup a sub-domain like http://kisses.dumbpost.com with some random bullshit posts about kisses, sitting on a blog. Viola. I am now entitled to create a Fan Page called "Kisses". Now I'm sure you'll have something to say about how most of these Pages aren't set as "Website" Pages. Boo-hoo. As of yet, it doesn't matter. Nobody at Facebook cares. These generic Pages are part of user's experience on the site and (although momentarily) deleting these Pages would create another short-lived uproar that FB does not want to deal with at this time. I think Kbuzz is just mad that ya'll weren't intelligent enough to set some of these up yourself and reap the benefits! :) Sure, there may be a day when FB decides to delete these "generic" Pages, but it ain't today! Find something real to write about please.... This post is dumb, and John is right.

It's like when an agency buys superbowl spots and then asks it's clients who's in? In a supply & demand world that's when the bidding starts. Whose to say the poachers shouldn't be rewarded for their savvy. Bottom line, Facebook is gonna make millions, give or take a few hundred thousand as long as people can connect in a secure environment. I'm a fan of "God" on Facebook, is (he) gonna be on sale too?
