  IF: “[In January] Facebook launche[d] a new ad unit called ‘Sponsored Stories’ that turns Page updates, as well as Places checkins, Likes, and application activity by users into advertisements. Sponsored Stories will allow advertisers to augment viral buzz by giving greater distribution and visibility to posts that endorse their organization or business. … When a user checks in to claimed Place, Likes a Page, or shares content to the news feed from an application that has paid for Sponsored Stories, that activity may appear as an advertisement to their friends. The ad is shown in special right sidebar module, and displays the user’s name and photo, any additional context or friends they’ve tagged, a picture of and link to the advertised Facebook Page or app, and the Likes and comments from the original post.”

  SEW: “Because there is no opt-out, it means that anything Facebook determines to be fair game for this advertising method is, well, fair game. Today it’s likes, check-ins, and certain statuses in your news feed. What is it tomorrow?”

  AF: “Facebook’s new sponsored story advertising format has a 46 percent higher click-through rate than other ads offered by the site, according to a report. This comes from TBG Digital, which studied a 10-day period during which 2 billion ad impressions were run. The result was that cost per click was decreased by 20 percent. It also appears as though the sample ad campaigns tested were used to acquire Facebook fans for 18 percent less than before.”

  TR: “In essence, [Facebook] is pushing a highly charged version of word of mouth, long seen as the most valuable of all marketing because people view friends’ recommendations as more credible than marketers’. – Conventional word of mouth reaches only a limited number of people. Facebook, where each of an estimated 600 million active users is connected to an average of 130 friends, changes all that by lending personal recommendations enormous reach. … To put it another way, when we use Facebook we no longer just view the ad; we become the ad. … One potential moneymaker for Facebook would be an ad network, which would syndicate its ads to other websites in return for a cut of the revenues they generate. Google’s AdSense network, for example, grossed $9 billion last year. But the company says it has no plans for an ad network. So Facebook’s biggest challenge remains coming up with new kinds of advertising that will appeal to both marketers and users. – Sandberg and Fischer admit they’ve not yet fully cracked that nut. If Facebook’s strategy of making us all willing marketers is to do the trick, the company will have to find a way to marry the science of the social graph to the art of the advertising it’s trying to replace.“
