The mods must have thought we needed a bit of biffo over here, lol. Been a bit quiet lately.

lol, was thinking the same.
Well I hope the rainbow avis on facebook arent a real indication of how much support there is for gay marriage, only 10% of my friends have rainbowed their photos. One has rainbowed his in footy colors which I thought was pretty cool. Personally I think those facebook avi trends are stupid so I dont participate.
Will ebay bring something similar in? I doubt it, it would be even more pointless here.
Holidays (self imposed or otherwise) do have that effect

So I've noticed lol.
It's actually quite nice to venture an opinion without getting attacked for it.

Just because someone decides to use the rainbow on their Facebook page, it DOESN'T necessarily indicate a support for marriage equality. It is more about the "influence" people have and Facebook Marketing is studying who makes the change, when the change is made (dependent on interactions with many other pages) AND when their friends also adopt the rainbow ......... there is an algorithm to detect this. So a person can simply adopt the "rainbow" to see how much of a 'leader' they feel they can be OR adopt the rainbow as they want to be seen to be like their fb friends OR simply adopt it to show their stance and happiness at the situation OR not adopt the rainbow to purposely not participate in Facebook marketing ............. but don't be concerned about who does or doesn't adopt the rainbow, because Facebook are monitoring it very closely and have tapped into motivation and will use the information accordingly. But it's important to understand what is behind this as it is for me to understand that it's a possibility some people might discriminate because of a type of picture ........ but then again, I guess some people might also not buy from you if they don't like your ID; who knows.
Were All Those Rainbow Profile Photos Another Facebook Study?
