Thank you thank you. I had read the FB announcement, and I had read another explanation, but the two didn't jive to me. This is the best explanation that I've seen so far.

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone.

@fishdinner (great name): When you click "remove" from your profile you are only removing it from your News feed. If you look at Profile | Info, you'll see the recommendation still under Pages.

Regardless, you don't even have to click anything. Just by visiting the page, Facebook has already tracked your activity if you are still logged into Facebook.

I am notifying all of my "Friended" contacts that I will be "unfriending" F'Book on May 15th. I am suggesting that they and everyone do the same. Unless we mass exit, they will continue to steal content from our actions without our knowing.

I sent them a message stating that they had a good idea, got greedy, and F'd it up.

Too bad but someone will pick up the mantle.

As I understand it, "Recommend" is a synonym for "Like" so that you can recommend an article about a devastating earthquake without looking as though you like the earthquake. So they say, though I'd be loathe to recommend an earthquake.

This post is an example a page that should have a Facebook Like button, so that it would be visible to and read by everyone at Facebook ;-)
