Update on Facebook Ads

Due to the recent spike in traffic I've experienced on my blog as a result of this post, http://www.culturesmithconsulting.com/change-your-facebook-settings-or-else/ I've been unable to update my blog http://www.culturesmithconsulting.com/news since Thursday. I just sent a support ticket to Webhero and HOPE to have that resolved quickly. So far, I've experienced half a day of downtown on Thursday and am now working on the third day of host-induced silence on my blog. Not very happy about that.

At any rate, I just had the idea to use my posterous account to write an update on the Facebook Ads post. 

UPDATE: 

Thanks to all the great comments on my blog and elsewhere, I've learned that these ads aren't actual Facebook ads. Instead, they're third party app ads (likely culprit - dumb quizzes), which may in fact be a violation of Facebook's Terms of Service http://www.facebook.com/terms.php

See Number 9 - Special Provisions applicable to Developers/Operators of Applications and Websites. The way I read it, their use of my photo is a violation.

What do you think?
