Customers who choose to receive the messages can then take advantage of the deals -- or pass information about it along to a friend just by sending a text message.

On the Community Group Therapy blog today, Sean O'Driscoll from WOMMA member company Microsoft weighs in and shares his impressions on the new Facebook ad announcement, including his thoughts on privacy, the social graph, and what it means for WOM.
