23:07:28 [oshani]Amy, I have a feeling that ad was actually a Facebook app
23:07:52 [amy]i'm not on facebook, sorry. what's the difference between an app and an ad there?
23:07:53 [oshani]anyways, it was stange seeing that in my profile
23:08:03 [amy]so they targeted you, I guess?
23:08:37 [amy]what is the uri for the "click here" part (if you can grab it w/out having to click)
23:08:45 [oshani]not sure -- I haven't said anything about Tim in my profile, but I do say that I am an MIT student
23:09:21 [amy]they don't say anything untrue - Tim is giving a talk, but our rules were that they'd clear stuff w/ our Comm Team first
23:09:37 [oshani]ah i see
23:09:47 [oshani]so, that "ad" was kinda illegal?
23:10:25 [amy]and strange to do a talk announcement as an ad. do they get revenue for clicks, for eg?
23:10:26 [oshani]Amy, that ad cannot be found now
23:10:27 [oshani]:(
23:10:32 [amy]huh, ok, thanks
23:10:35 [oshani]at least not on my profile
23:10:42 [amy]no worries
23:13:31 [amy]and Tim has a facebook page that I don't know is really his http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tim-Berners-Lee/11965590969#/pages/Tim-Berners-Lee/11965590969?v=wall&viewas=0
23:13:32 [oshani]so, the link points to the legitimate site (http://legatum.mit.edu/conference2009) -- no harm there I guess
23:14:07 [oshani]Yeah, I don't think he created it -- it's a fan page I think
23:14:36 [amy]yeah
23:14:49 [amy]he always cites his home page, this cites wikipedia. no harm
