Democracy, meet Facebook.

Finally! After years of imposing draconian applications, advertising trackers and layout designs on Facebook users, the superpower of social networking will finally let us have our say, according to The Wall Street Journal tech blog.
Starting this week, Facebook users can vote on two new applications. One lets you pass a greeting card around to all your friends to “sign.” How about that group “Feel Better From Your Hangover Soon” card you always wanted to send? The other ap is a personalized news service that creepily predicts what kind of news you’ll like. What about predicting what we won’t like? Now there’s a push for a real informed public.
The voting application itself is a hidden advertisement for the company that built it, a clever way Facebook is trying to stir the inner consumer Facebook users.
Oh, Dobbs Ferry kid Mark Zuckerberg, you were so much dreamier when you were just the nerdy guy in the dorm who could supp up a Commodore computer.
