Social Networking and advertising - You can make money from this?

I was reading an older article about how "Some Indie Facebook Developers Pulling In Over $700,000 A Month" and it referenced the source as SocialMedia.

Clicking over to their website and reading about how they "turn standard ad units into social experiences that resonate with friends, influencers, and community members" is impressive.

The ability to target a consumer based on their likes, hobbies, associates and multitudes of other miscellaneous facts that they may publish about themselves begs the question "Are we creating our own experiences?"

If what we are surrounded with is created from our own visions of what we like how do we experience life beyond what we know we like?

An interesting conundrum.
