On Saturday, my four-year 0ld saw the fresh pile of junk mail in the hallway. "Oh, no. More information. Daddy there's just too much information."
Last night, we were watching the box. He asked, "How do we get CBeebies?"
"From the aerial on top of the house."
"What about when it's on the computer. Where's the aerial for the internet?"
It's also very trendy to "pull" your ads from Facebook, at least over the last week or so, because they appear on "inappropriate" pages (rather than inappropriate sites).
Stuart Bruce posted on this over the weekend. Yesterday's FT and today's Guardian pick up on the COI being the latest to join Vodafone, First Direct and Virgin Mobile and others in stopping all their ads.
Interesting how quickly advertisers are to follow suit - and how slow Facebook's ad-sales teams have been to spot a potential problem before it became one.
Will Facebook's next step be to monitor all the content on all the sites and ensure that it's not "inappropriate" for certain advertisers? Or will it simply take the financial hit of the lost revenue? Or will it follow the Bebo/MySpace route and offer advertisers some "safe" areas and some unchecked.
Another growing pain for yet another site which can't quite decide on the best balance between carrier or host for everything on it, and therefore quite how "responsible" it should be.
