One reason is that advertisers are being drawn to the leading sites by their sheer scale. Facebooks audience is bigger than any TV network that has ever existed on the

Another thing that has attracted companies is the networks ability to target ads with laser-like precision, thanks to the data they hold on their users ages, gender, interests and so forth.

27、，严格环保、质量、安全等标准。去产能最大的难题是人往哪里去。企业要采取多种措施使职工转岗不下岗，中央和地方政府都要对职工分流安置给予必要的支持。产能过剩是一个全球性的问题，我们将主动采取行动去产能，这本身就表明中国是负责任的大国。参考译文：We need to advance structural reform， in particular that on the supply side.

Businesses need to take multiple measures to ensure that their employees will get reemployed. Both the central and local governments should provide necessary support to take care of the affected employees. Overcapacity is a global challenge. The fact that we have taken the initiative to cut overcapacity demonstrates that China is indeed a responsible country.
