Here's the problem with sponsored stories. I posted an amazon listing for a tub of lube as a joke on valetines day, and now facebook is showing that I am recommending it to my friends and family.
Facebook didn't know my intent in the post, so it's use of "sponsored story" is laughable. Honestly, I'm glad I can recommend lube to people, but I wasn't actually recommending the purchase of it, I was poking fun. I wonder how often they ever get this right? I still haven't seen a single sponsored story that is relevant to me on facebook.
Has anyone else noticed that facebook's ad targeting is pretty bad considering how much data they must have?
