An anonymous reader writes "As expected, Facebook has started displaying ads in users' News Feeds. You may not be seeing them yet as the company is rolling them out gradually, like it does for all its changes.
These new ads are marked as "Featured," which could be confusing given that Facebook has always used the word "Sponsored" for its ads. Currently, Facebook uses the verb "feature" for making content on a user’s Timeline bigger and more prominent.
Last month, a Facebook spokesperson said the company hoped to "show people no more than one Sponsored Story in their News Feeds per day." This is no longer the case, as Facebook now says you may see more Featured stories "if you visit your News Feed a lot.""
