Facebook Wants To Show Better Ads

How many of you love advertisements whenever you are surfing the Internet? Most of the time, we would have “tuned out” to such advertisements already, and are pretty adept at knowing which window to close, and which button to press. The social network experience on Facebook, too, has gone through some evolution over the years, and with ads being shown there, perhaps it is time to change things around. Facebook is hoping to get some user input in order to better know how they can serve their customers as well as their clients alike.

A couple of new updates are made to the News Feed that will help show people something that is more relevant to their station in the Internet life at the moment. Facebook wants to take the extra step by considering a specific reason as to why a user does not want to view that ad – and use that particular result to figure out whether the same ad should be shown to other users or not. Apart from that, Facebook also mentioned that they would like to pay more attention to others who do not hide ads often, so that when feedback is received, it would be that of a stronger signal.

What do you think of this particular move? Will it help Facebook users have a more enhanced experience? Only time will be able to tell. [Press Release]
