Facebook Fanpage Fiasco

Posted on by

uh-oh. Someone needs to tell Mark ‘Dumb Fucks’ Zuckerberg that enough is enough.

After all the walking on thin ice with the current privacy blah-blah, Facebook decided it was a good idea to kill fanpages off – unless you’re a big company with deep pockets.

The main reason for this is probably the amount of ‘step 1 become a fan – step 2 tell all your friends – step 3 make me money by clicking my ads’ aka 3-step facebook code viral pages. I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of those around. Quite annoying, but if this was a decision purely based on stopping the spam, and increasing the user-experience; why tell developers and businesses that they need to get in touch with a Facebook Ads Account Manager to enable static FBML? And that they have to have at least 10,000 people that like the page in the first place? Can we still spam Facebook, as long as we pay for it?

So basically you can setup an extremely limited fanpage profile for your business. This will make it a lot harder to get people to like your fanpage. Then after reaching 10K ‘fans’, Facebook will let you make a nice landingpage will most likely attract a whole lot more ‘likes’. I can’t believe that Facebook would think a spammer would have a problem getting 10K likes from all their fake account networks. They only people that are getting hurt are small businesses.

What what it boils down to is that thousands of small businesses are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. They used the tools Facebook provided for them to build a business, and now they have to take it up the ass from Mark ‘ Dumb Fucks’ Zuckerberg. All their hard work is down the drain + they’re getting a lot of shit from their clients who paid for customised fanpages.

Sure, Facebook is it’s own product, and if it decides to change things, they’re obviously entitled to. But it seems that they’re starting to think that they are the market, instead of the product.

No wonder sites like Quit Facebook are popping up left and right. I think MySpace slowly bled to death, but Facebook is rapidly committing digital suicide by the looks of it.

Imran Naseem Banned – Does a BooHoo

Honestly, I wasn’t looking for more Imran Naseem material. But I kinda stumbled across this post on the warrior forum. Amazing how Mr Naseem dodges all valid questions from someone that wants to buy his product, and simply tells them DON’T BUY. Obviously Imran cannot produce the proof that the buyer requested, and so tries to shift the attention to the potential buyer, by saying that the buyer should take action instead of complain (which he doesn’t), be productive, and not browse forums all day.

So how the hell are people supposed to buy your products Imran? If all you do is promote your WSO’s on WarriorForum? And you’re telling them not to browse the forums? And what’s this bullshit about you not browsing any other forums but WF? Oh, is that because the similar thread you opened on Digital Point Forums got you banned from there? (Imran has a cry about DP after he got banned here. (mirror).

Why don’t you prove us all wrong about you, and answer the simple questions elirainc asked you about the product you are offering for sale?

What’s kinda scary is that the original post by Elirainc was removed by a mod or admin on WF. Seemed like legitimate questions a consumer might have before buying a product to me.

And I gotta say – Love all the users with 25 posts or less bumping the thread all the time. Proxy much? Come on people on WarriorForum. Wake up and smell the coffee – the ONLY way Imran Naseem is making money is by selling bullshit WSO’s to you. He even had a WSO (mirror) about making money with WSO’s at one time. The site is offline – Imran probably figured out that some people might start connecting the dots.

Oh, and if you lookup “Ironic” in the picture dictionary, you’ll most likely see something like this screenshot:
