Facebook lets advertisers 'sponsor' user updates

San Francisco (AFP) Jan 26, 2011
Facebook is rolling out options for advertisers to pay to "sponsor" comments people make about businesses, places or products at the world's largest online social network.

A Sponsored Stories tool allows advertisers to take "word of mouth recommendations and promote them" to eye-catching notices on Facebook user pages, engineers at the firm said in an online video Wednesday.

Sponsored Stories are updates or location check-ins that Facebook members post to be seen by friends and are only shared with those in a person's chosen circle of contacts at the online community.
