Falk In Class-Writing #5

      Carmen likes to listen to music by Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and The Saltine Project.  She loves Harry Potter and likes to read the books as well as watch the movies.  Her two favorite television shows are Make It or Break It and Friends.  Carmen doesn’t give too much information about herself, just a few things to complete her profile.  Her roommate attacked her Facebook page by posting random wall posts, and just stating random things.  She doesn’t give much information about herself on Facebook, and most of the comments from her friends are just about how they want her to go back home. 
     The ads I generally get on the side of Facebook have to deal with horses, snowboards or some genre of music.  The horse ads are websites that sell all kinds of tack, and I tend to always get this kind of ad.  It has a picture of a horse jumping or running free, which always catches my eye.  The snowboard ads are usually trying to get me to sign up for an online raffle to win a free snowboard trip or a free snowboard.  The shopping ads that are sometimes presented have a picture of some cute outfit, and it tries to get people to click on the link to go online shopping.  The ads don’t have anything to do about what Carmen likes, but more aimed towards what I like.  Facebook does this, because they know that if they show ads favor the viewer then there would be more of a chance that the viewer would click on the ads.
