That, and the 10 other facebook-related posts currently on the front page. I understand it's a huge revelation that facebook tracks people and shares the data in ways and for purposes which we weren't aware of, but the news has been nothing but facebook for a week now. For something that was mostly known already (we knew they had it, just not that it was applied in this way), it's getting a little tedious.
Yes, it's like everybody is gaming the stock market options. Or finally the reality of social media is catching up with the populus all at once.

I suspect the peak won't be reached until we read a court transcript with the quote "show us upon this dB schema were Facebook touched you".
