In another move to try and monetize every microsecond you spend on their platforms. Facebook has announced that they will now start placing video ads inside your private messages with others.
It would seem the big “Z” does not care that this would create a lag in most conversations. Making the whole idea behind a “instant” chat program useless. But I guess when you can’t sell ad space to Russian sock puppets you have to start turning over the cushions for a few lose million.
While still popular with the over 35 crowd, moves like this are just fresh examples of a slow downhill decline of it’s under 35 user base. Reminiscent of the falls of Compuserve, Prodigy, Aol, Friendster and MySpace.
