01 Facebook: pedophile playground
Facebook child sexual exploitation -- In a dark attic, a
little girl, no older than 9, appears with a distrustful
look on her face as she wears only a training bra. She
glimpses the camera out of the corner of her eye. FBI,
law-enforcement authorities struggle to keep up with
thousands of reports pouring in about pedophiles and child
porn on Facebook

02 Google and Facebook: Social Search
Greenlight Findings from a survey undertaken by leading
independent digital marketing agency, Greenlight, indicate
that Google+ might be more successful than most have
initially speculated and that Facebook could potentially
capture close to a quarter of the search market globally
were it to launch a search engine of its own tomorrow. This
market share would make Facebook the second most utilised
search engine in every major market except for China, Japan,
and Russia, where it would occupy an uncontested third
place.

13 Facebook Advertising: Should you bother?
Here you go, on the day Facebook goes public, in one of
the biggest stock market IPOs in history, we're asking
should brands bother with Facebook advertising if 44% of
people say they would never click on a sponsored ad? A
global survey undertaken by the independent digital
marketing agency, Greenlight, reveals 30% of people
'strongly distrust' Facebook with their personal data whilst
44% say they would 'never' click on Facebook sponsored ads,
all of which indicates Facebook's advertising programme has
an upward struggle. It's going to get interesting!
