A Frocks PSA for Facebook Users!

Little did you know, (the following is from Facebook): "Facebook occasionally pairs advertisements with relevant social actions from a user's friends to create Facebook Ads. Facebook Ads make advertisements more interesting and more tailored to you and your friends."

Translation: A photo of you could pop up in an ad on your friend's Facebook page unless you opt out! To opt out:

Click on SETTINGS (located on top of page in blue bar, next to logout); Select PRIVACY SETTINGS; Select NEWS FEEDS and WALL; Select the TAB that reads Facebook Ads. There will be a drop down box; Select NO ONE.

It may seem like a hassle to log onto Facebook and opt out, but if you don't, beware! Your smiling mug could end up in a "hook-up" ad on your friend's (our spouses!) Facebook page. The blog link below tells this tale.
