It’s not cool, It’s *wiki* cool.
Let’s be honest. Not too many of us have clicked on the tiny little ad underneath the Facebook Application links on the left side of the page. But really, it’s not our fault.
As this classic demonstrates, Facebook is making a killing off idiots. The idiots are not you or I, its those individuals who decided to promote their “Wiki Cool” on Facebook. These people are paying top dollar to put this tiny piece of crap underneath thousands of Facebook Boston users. How Boston are you? Isn’t that incredibly compelling? So compelling your going to move the mouse over from your scantily dressed friend’s semi-erotic pictures over to a South End image of Boston’s skyline?
The best part about this is that it is using the popularity of wiki to help promote their website. It’s like oh, I don’t know, like Wikipedia didn’t have a Boston entry.
