Cheeky! They’ve taken the Facebook button style, colours and font treatment to create something that actually looks like it’s part of the Facebook application!
Has web advertising really come to this? Do we really have to design banners in such a way as to trick users into clicking them? Surely you can’t just con visitors into a sale or conversion?!
