Juice Digital, Making you Digitally Famous

This is a blog by Tina Jagla:
They might have appeared on your friendlist on Facebook. But if you are lucky and your friends are more mature (or less nosy) than some of mine, here are some examples of what I’m blogging about today:

Daniel became a Fan of Top 10 Stupid (but still in act) British Laws!!

Michael became a Fan of Only in America.. does THIS Happen.. LOL!

Sarah became a Fan of LOL This girl gets OWNED after a POLICE OFFICER reads her STATUS MESSAGE

Dou you lol?

Look familiar? Then you too, like me were a bit nosy and clicked on the link to find out which laws these might be or what happened in America, just to be told in capital letters: “YOU MUST BECOME A FAN.” My personal reaction at this point is usually to close the window and be annoyed about this arrant strategy of gaining more fans on Facebook. However, for the sake of this blog, I found a group on Facebook which explains how to see the image without joining.

All three examples didn’t end up showing me their picture, video or text but a link instead. All three links lead to questionnaires that have to be filled in, in order to ostensibly see the big secret. I don’t trust my Antivirus Software enough to take this step but if anyone did, let me know what happened.

These are very good examples of how not to use Facebook. Countless numbers of anti-groups have already appeared on Facebook by users who are as annoyed as I am about this scam-trend.

Still, the opportunity of hiding parts of the content from everyone who is not a fan has some potential. The German Theme Park Heide Park for example asks you to become a Fan in order to get a voucher for a €10 ticket. Fans can clearly gain something from the arrangement and the brand Heide Park gains positive sentiment as well as a wider fanbase.
