"ChatAds" facebook will serve ads according to our live chats [or msg. same as gmail] in future, so you will chat with friend about some new game for example, and they will instant show you ads about it. Just wait, it will be that way! Too bad i can't patent that shit

Nice, so you talk about being hungry and you get spammed with ads for restaurants or something like that.

Good points and bad points as always.

Atleast if people know what you want, they won't keep trying to sell you shit you don't want. But it leaves you more open to your personal clutches.

I sometimes wish certain annoying adverts could get voted off TV.

I don't mind advertising, I hate pathetic advertising
