Seems strange to me since it had potential for market researchers… Maybe they’re just scaling back to focus on a few things in the short-term, and will bring it back later on?

I think that Facebook is just doing informal polling by tagging your accounts and tracking your comments.

Frank,

Yes, I can read.

Firstly, I suggested that the money charged cannot replace loss of revenue from advertising and secondly, I suggested that a commercial model could augment to add in premium services such as analysis.

Oh snap, Tamar. Heh.

I think since the forced demise of Beacon, Facebook has been working for a long time on another, more elaborate way to cater to the business community beyond the Ads & Pages offerings.

My guess is that the only reason to pull down polls would be that they’re developing a competing yet more sophisticated and better-monetized tool that serves a similar purpose but is, well, much better all around.

But then again, I may just be putting too much faith in the Zuckerberg camp.
