Coincidentally I just had three status updates of friends’ displayed on my Facebook page and could not not make a screenshot because they are so much alike. It almost makes me wonder if Facebook grouped them or if it was just pure coincidence.

A few weeks ago I already had an eery Facebook experience when I used an application to send virtual flowers. After having finished, I was presented with a message to send more flowers to friends who needed cheering up. Apparently, the status updates are carefully read by machines, disected, put through a sentence analyzer, and put out at the right moment. Not so much unlike what Google is always blamed for.
