ADOTAS — Will advertisers or users trump in a new ad look for the social network?

Facebook is quietly making plans to redesign Facebook Ads, which gives brands and businesses a way to interact with users. The pages are free, but the social network’s sales team then pushes advertisers to buy ads to point to the pages.

Features include a comment wall, photos, videos. Brands spend a lot of money is spend on customizing the page as well. Similar to what users have, the default view will show the Wall, custom apps will be pushed to a second Boxes tab. The Pages will also likely mirror the look of normal user profiles, with an image in the top left corner.

Apprantely, the new design is not going over well with advertisers, who spent a lot of time, and money, on them. But what will users think? The last time Facebook did something quietly, some got (ahem) a bit heated. But if it works for users, creating a better experience and more interaction, advertisers will come around. They have to.

UPDATE: Facebook has also teamed with Oodle on social networking classifieds.

Right now, at the beginning of 2012, what are you watching the most closely for its ad and marketing opportunities?
Mobile. Smart devices have become standard, and advertising is only going to become more creative there.

Online video. It's a real competitor to TV now, and it presents really interesting ways to engage viewers.

Social media. The new Facebook timeline and the surge of Google+ have cracked the game wide open again.

Tempting as it might be, I don't want to get too involved in one aspect.

See, I think this might be a good time to see what would happen if we revisited MySpace, but made the ads slightly bigger... with more strobe effect.
