Facebook reuses your 'likes' to promote new stuff

We trust Facebook with so very much of our personal information — birthdays, phone numbers, relationships, pictures, where we go, what we do and when. Why not just let the world’s largest social network go ahead and automatically publish posts using your name, and stick those posts on your friends’ Newsfeeds?

No need to answer, on account of Facebook is already providing you with this automated convenience, ZDNet’s Ed Bott reports. Posts from pages you “like,” now show up in Newsfeeds, as if you posted them yourself.
