A local news station was having a contest and if they would pick people who liked them on Facebook at random and give out laptops and what not. I figured sure, why not? Until every day my Facebook page was spammed with their news crap.

Facebook is a waste. It's taken the creativity out of the Internet. Everyone is on facebook but no one has their own webpage any more.
Yes they do. And they are doing to hear about updates and discounts/offers.

I run a Facebook page for a Cupcake shop I have a small stake in. We have almost 15000 followers and have spent $0 on advertising in the 2 years we've been open.

Facebook has been key to us closing in on close to $500k in sales this year, well that and the cupcakes are fucking amazing.
