Facebook testing promoted (paid) posts in the U.S.
http://j.mp/QtESwE (Washington Post)
"On Wednesday, the company introduced a feature that allows U.S. users
with fewer than 5,000 friends to promote their updates - for a fee.
The users' posts would gain prime placement on their friends news
feeds."

So does anyone know whether these promoted (paid) posts are *identified*
as such when they receive priority in your "friends" feeds?
