That is what happens sometimes I think, the business, in this case
this grocery chain, uses our email trail as a way to get educated
about our version of their business and or practices and then puts
the info into play in order to get a new store open in the town of
their choice, in this case, Austin. I thought this earlier today with
the going back and forth of email but this email in particular, if
you don't mind me quoting says it all "That's a great suggestion and
I'll bet TJ might be interested in this."

This is another example of those dubious marketing practices:

Facebook statuses may become ads without any opt-out

Facebook has unveiled a new advertising option for its partners that would allow companies to pull user's statuses and use them in ads on the service. Called Sponsored Stories, stauses of a user mentioning a company would be able to be used by a company in ads to that user's friends.

Users would not be able to opt-out of being used in these ads. Facebook said that check-ins to business and places are lost in our ever-moving news feeds, and companies have no way of taking advantage of the marketing potential these statuses could have. Thus, Sponsored Stories would essentially turn any status mentioning a brand into a potential ad.
