Re:Convert Facebook newsfeed into Reddit-style trending stories on Wednesday August 07, 2013 @09:22AM (#6172604)
Is it me or there is serious astroturfing going on in this thread? There are bunch of new accounts with no submissions, 1 comment and 1 karma posting one-liners like:"Awesome","Pretty cool", "Looks interesting"... Just check last 10 accounts on bottom of this thread.
Re:Facebook news feed ads generate 49 times more clicks at 45% less cost on Sunday July 07, 2013 @08:51AM (#6001882)
Not really. Have in mind these are retargeting ads. Lets say you visited Shop X and checked out different laptops on that website. Now you are on Facebook and there is post by Shop X in your feed featuring laptop you checked out on discount. Isn't that relevant to your interests? You already showed intent by visiting shop's website.

Re:Clickbank order details in plain view on Wednesday June 19, 2013 @05:52PM (#5908600)
Clickbank is a joke! I remember year ago you could put in Google product name and "thank you" and you would find thank you page with direct download link.

EDIT: Someone even made CB product to protect thank you page: Fix My Thank You Page http://fixmythankyoupage.com/ only $97 LOL!

Re:Partial Tesla Model S recall on Wednesday June 19, 2013 @01:51PM (#5907036)
Fight Club quote: "A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."
