Google+ Ad On Facebook Is Banned [Sue FB]
After the arrival of Google+, Facebook is facing problems in getting attention of new users. At least that’s the way Facebook would like to see things. Web developer Michael Lee Johnson found that out the hard way. He was trolling for Google+ friends on Facebook by running a Facebook ad asking people to add him to their Circles on Google+. Facebook, apparently, did not like him using its site to build his own social network somewhere else. So it pulled his ads.
He writes on Google+:
I recently ran a Google+ advertisement on Facebook that got all of my campaigns suspended. – Great.
Yeah, Facebook frowns on people promoting competing products with Facebook ads. It’s even in its Terms of Service. But seriously, where else is he going to find friends for Google+?

That Google Plus strategy not to let everyone in reminds me of SouthPark's episode when Cartman had his own theme park and didn't let any people in. I know that they doing it to test the system, but still it works, people want to go in, just because they can't :D
