I'm just about to write up another blog post about the advertising scam in Facebook. Seeing that this can be done with Pinterest doesn't surprise me.

What's funny, though, is the fact that people not using their tool are cave-men or at best, mediocre

If you find this aggressive then I can contact my webmaster to remove it...
No, no, keep it up there. It'll serve my blog post well :-) My post is not about companies like yours, but about the completely overvalued social media hype right now.

Social media is the next dotcom bubble, because advertising on them doesn't keep the customer targeting promises they make. Thus, those companies (Facebook, Pinterest, etc.) aren't worth 1/10th of what they're currently valued.

Yes sir, I agree with you but if advertisers are not using these sources for marketing, then what are the options left for them to market?
Just as yourself, "spam" HN ;-)
