Advertising on Facebook

Recently for the first time Facebook made a profit. Previously Facebook did not have advertising, and therefore did not make a profit from it. However, they now do have advertisements that are segmented toward a specific audience.

Although this may be annoying to Facebook users, I think it is a very smart business move for them to make. Especially with today's economy, everyone is struggling to make ends meet. I am not sure if this is the idea of the public relations person(s), or whom, but whoever came up with the idea to have advertisements along with people's internet socializing/business is very smart and still somewhat discrete to users.
