![]() I just can't get it out of my head. - Rant incoming -
There's just so much things I can't comprehend about the way major corporations and networks uses publicity by trying to appeal to a larger public. Yeah well, don't get me wrong that's usually a good marketing technic, but now it just blasted through the wall of absurdity. So Facebook basically wants to appeal to EVERY F***** SINGLE INDIVIDUAL ON EARTH and their new pitch consists of "X is like Facebook", where X basically equals ANYTHING you've ever saw, experienced or did in your entire life: Seriously, I don't get how they can believe everything that surrounds us can be related to Facebook in a way or the other. Yeah sure, pools and halloween are linked to social interactions. I can understand that chairs are a symbol of individuality too but don't you think it's a bit extrapolated guys? Let's be honest, the first thing I think of when someone asks me about community pools is of yellow warm spots of water and the leftovers of some wrinkly old Band-Aid floating near me (which is actually a good representation of how I perceive my friends). Halloween? More like being stuck in company of creepy stalkers having an obsession with candy for a whole night. But really, they're forcing it down the throat. It's like if they believed that they are the biggest innovation nowadays. "Anyone can sit on a chair". Well no sh** Sherlock, chairs are for people?! I'll be damned. There's not even any distinction between real-life and social networks. They're actually making an ad about our mundane life, and they're pretty much saying: Facebook is the universe. IT IS REAL EVERYTHING AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN. I'm sure even a crack house would be more fitting as comparison. Last edited by Crazyjayde; 11-5-2012 at 11:10 PM.. |

![]() Not talking about the objective but the whole argumentation behind. It's what distinguish good marketing from bad and this one fails miserably.

![]() On a serious note about what OP is trying to say, I agree that it's a crappy advertisement move. I'm sure everyone here knows how wonderful forced memes are, and Facebook is screaming like a little child to hop on that train.

![]() this actually has the potential to be a good thread, but the OP is kind of fractious and incoherent. too much ranting, not enough point-making.

All I'm trying to say, is that the way they advertise is not pertinent to their main objective as a social network. They're bringing the whole world on the table, which resumes to the collectivity. An enormous mass of people we do not share relations on Facebook. I would have preferred that they stick to their general idea. Facebook is for staying in touch with your entourage, with your own privacy. I would've liked to see publicities that centers about the last failed date you've had with a girl than this. |

![]() Why do they even need to advertise? Seems like a waste of time, money and effort.

![]() All that the advertisers want you to think is this: "Facebook is life." And to some people's obsessions, it almost is their life.

I'm still waiting on the ability to slap people through the internet for being so stupid.
