By 'selling that click data about me' you realize that the only monetization tool Facebook has is a anonymized and aggregated ads tool...it doesn't sell click data.


I find there's a general perception (especially Slashdot) that this isn't the case, I'm not sure why given that Facebook's been fairly explicit about it in the past


I disagree with the notion that "those who want it [Facebook] already have it..."

In fact, there are billions of users that don't have access to Facebook but would benefit greatly from it. Many of these potential users have 1/2G mobile phones, with little or no access to a PC. Much of what Facebook needs to do to achieve growth targets will be extending it's platform to these users by creating a consumable experience on such technically limited devices. That takes innovation.
