PaidContent has a pretty interesting related post on how Coke and other advertisers are pulling out of the program. I think the jury is still out on the Facebook Ad Programs, but the road is definitely going to be rocky for a bit.

I hear ya. All of this has driven me to write a dedicated firefox addon for blocking beacon completely. http://debeacon.org/

I won't do business with any of the Beacon partners. Facebook I can forgive because they're inexperienced and desperate to monetize, but the marketing folks at big companies that signed up to Beacon should have known better.

I'm boycotting them all, because if they'd had an ounce of ethics, they would have warned Facebook that Beacon was bad news. But they didn't, and that speaks volumes about the type of people they are.

Boycott Beacon partners because they've corrupted Facebook.

I dont think they are doing enough. Facebook in my opinion is the worst threat to online privacy. But I guess everyone will say something different according to how they experience it.
