Is anyone really surprised that FB are trying to leverage the profile data they have?
The company – which plunged onto Nasdaq in May this year – is doing everything it can to shake as much ad revenue out of the site as possible by unsurprisingly proposing to open its users’ data even more. Some have suggested that this means Facebook will build unified profiles of its users akin to, say, those of Google+.
For example, now that photo-sharing site Instagram is part of the Facebook family, one of the proposals is for the company to share data across its growing estate.
