They are excited that many more people "click through" on their sponsored stories. What they won't tell you is that right now most people do not realise they are clicking on a "sponsored story" AKA ADVERTISEMENT !!

How many of you who pay for data plans on your phones want your data allowance eaten up by Ads?
