After years of promoting and advertising businesses, Facebook has just launched its own Facebook campaign. Finally, if you like Facebook and you are on Facebook, you can “like†Facebook on Facebook. All redundancies aside, this is probably the dumbest campaign I have seen, but hey, 487,005 people felt the need to express how much they like Facebook on Facebook.
