3 articles I read this week

1) An article about companies using free games on Facebook to generate leads for advertisers, this was really interesting to me, mostly because it explains why half my facebook friends keep trying to pry me into Mafia Wars or some damn thing.

2) Another article from TechCrunch concerning Facebook, see a pattern here? This one concerns more general advertising, and really draws attention to why spam exists; It makes a profit.

3) Can’t help but get into some political news, despite my general attempt to avoid it during business, but this one deals with how money affects politics and I think it’s important for everyone to pay attention to such things.

  1. People, I am now preparing a seminar on the sites.
    It needs examples of sites that overloaded functional.
    I’m not talking about a flash intro, but about too many modules, supernavoroty that already bother to live on this site. Previously, this was mail.ru, like right now they are recovered.

    Anybody can give a few examples? Thank you.
