CBS Buys Facebook?

by Jason Wilk on September 18, 2008

  • Doesn’t look like it, but apparently CBS has somehow swayed Facebook to bring back Beacon, the advertising platform that caused havoc for the Zuck.
  • When you sign up for a CBS app of any kind now, the old Beacon pop-up appears attempting to authenticate you and lure you to ‘learn more’.
  • CBS seems to be the only partner that has embraced the platform again. We will see how many more they can sign up before the next Facebook revolt happens.
  • Facebook is already having a current backlash with the Old vs New Facebook design, which already has 20,000 votes over at tinyMash for users preferring Old.

  • CBS wishes. I think Facebook could buy them.

    Better not have to start to seeing this Beacon shit again.
