BBC : A BBC investigation suggests companies are wasting large sums of money on adverts to gain "likes" from Facebook members who have no real interest in their products.

I only like companies I know and actually like. Once that happens, the second they post a spam "status" or something useless, I delete it or block it.
Also "Earlier this year Facebook revealed that about 5-6% of its 901 million users might be fake - representing up to 54 million profiles. "
How is that number not any higher? I don't know of a single person with a Facebook account that either 1 Doesnt use it, or 2 has SEVERAL fake accounts. A majority of them are for stupid games that need 50 friends. My GF has 6 accounts alone.....
Also I've seen my friend create programs for fake accounts and spam, he even got in trouble for it. Its amazing how easy it is. Build a fake page, fake profile, and get thousands of them going within an hour.....
