Is Facebook Testing Out New Newsfeed And Skyscraper Display Ad Units In New Zealand? No, Adware Strikes Again

New Zealand was the first country to get Facebook's new-look Timeline last December. Now the country looks like it may be putting in another special appearance, as Facebook's push for more advertising (and revenue) leads?the social network into new pastures on the display front. A reader in New Zealand has sent us some screenshots (embedded below) that appear to show ads in two new areas on his page: a skyscraper on the left side (not the right) and an enlarged, display ad directly in his Newsfeed. Update: a Facebooker says this is adware, not a legit Facebook test. Full details below.
