Before I discuss Open Graph I must point out that I’ve been on a facebook roller coaster the past 48 hours. I was super excited two days ago to have my facebook fan page completed facebook.com/webdesignservices making it look like an actual web page/landing page, then I decided to pay for advertising when things went bad. I do not recommend advertising on facebook.com as I was given fraudulent clicks after clicks from most likely an automated bot, I even complained to facebook who told me to send over a log of my stats so they could compare, that’s when I told them the heck with it and canceled my advertising after using it for only 24 hours. After looking things over with my best friend Google it appears I’m not the only one experiencing this issue, hopefully it gets fixed fast because when you’re paying $1.50 per click it adds up pretty darn fast.
Anyways, about Open Graph. Even though I don’t have a personal facebook account I like the idea of the “Like” button being on any web page for users to click and share instantly. The example given where a user “Likes” a movie off of IMDB and it automatically adds it to their facebook profile is pretty awesome and scary at the same time, I predict some facebook users to begin deleting their accounts once they realize their privacy is slowly shrinking.
I also like the comments idea but I’m still undecided if I want to use it on my website or stick with wordpress comments, the spamming would most likely disappear. I’ll most likely may play around with it and see which works best.
