They should try running this on the internet and not limiting theirselves to facebook. Although if they are just mining names and addresses facebook might be a better source. Most on there not worried about security.

Not just mining, facebook is also a fantastic tool to raise your profile in search engines.

So buying likes raises your profile on search engines? I guess in my searches I've never had a facebook site come up.

I know google has been working hard to stop some sites that are nothing more than cut n paste from being on top. Not that this is anywhere near that type of site.

I have no facebook account, nor will I.  Too much crap can happen because of it.

If only HTC realized what a fantastic promotional tool both Facebook and YouTube were. It's a shame the HTC page is only updated when they happen to remember it. Their YouTube page is EMPTY(aside from 2 poorly shot 'experiments'). They should, at the very least, subscribe to some of the channels that offer Aces High videos, but they don't. So we're stuck with the chavs that come from the 15 second spot at 3am on the Military Channel.

Yes I gave up trying to get folks to understand why they shouldn't..... I found that most who use it simply can't understand.

Youtube possibly, facebook not. This thread is typical..... buying likes/votes.  :rofl

This was tossed out across a ton of flight simulation boards so the odds are pretty good that someone other than an AH player scored these puppies.
