Facebook is infiltrating sites all over the web . These sites are happy to add Facebook’s social plug-ins. What if Facebook launched an AdSense-like product – a product that lets publishers stick relevant ads from Facebook on their sites for a cut of the money? They would be HIGHLY, HIGHLY targeted because the more sites that use plugins like Facebook’s like button, the more users will share their likes with Facebook, which goes to the profile, which is where Facebook already draws its information from to serve its own ads today.

WebProNews spoke to Eddie Krassenstein, CEO of Anonymous You, a new social networking site launching on Tuesday April 27th. The site AY.com allows users to create profiles similar to other sites such as Facebook, but differs in that users leaving comments on a profile page are completely anonymous. Krassenstein said he came up with the concept of AY.com “because there have been so many times when I found myself and my friends wishing we could answer questions or make comments anonymously.” Krassenstein says being anonymous allows people to more easily provide truthful insight. To create an account on AY.com users can login with their Facebook account, as well as post updates to their Twitter or Facebook streams when they add something to their AY stream. When asked if the site will be ad-supported Krassenstein said,” once traffic to the site begins to pick up, we will most likely offer some sort of advertising.
