Data management at its best

Facebook's “LIKE” buttons are marketing widgets aimed at selling everything from books to blogs.  After writing last quarter's  "Facebooks Do's and Don'ts" I keep coming across interesting facts about Facebook.  So here's the latest.

Apparently when you click “LIKE” for Harley's and hair weaves your profile information suddenly changes to include motorcyle and wig related tags. Pretty soon, your Facebook account becomes a Times Square billboard of products, drawing advertisers to you like flies.  With this in mind, choose what you "like" wisely.
