This line, “Something Wicked This Way Comes” from Shakespeare’s play, “Macbeth” came to mind when I read the Wall Street Journal article about GM deciding to opt out of Facebook Advertising.
Frothy quote/association for a business story, you might say. But, Facebook Froth this week, leading up to the IPO, is so massive it is visible on Google Earth satellite photos.
GM is one of the three biggest advertisers in the US and Facebook’s recorded response in the article to GM’s loss? To paraphrase: “It’s your fault GM”.
Wozer. Now, I’m not saying that it isn’t tempting for all of us to blame the client behind closed doors but to publicly put your finger in their eye?
Sounds, well..downright anti-social.
Ever seen “Social Network”? Facebook began with that lofty social notion of “paybacks are a bitch”.
Do you not want GM to bring their 10 million ad dollars back?
Or, do you simply think you are just so divine that they’ll put on their knee pads and return once they’ve seen the light?
Fiddle-dee-dee. As a photographer, I’m just bustin’ my buttons pleased with this opportunity to post a photograph of a run-down building near me with Facebook blue windows.
Sweet!
