How Soon Until FaceBook is Off-Limits?
I’ve had a Facebook profile for s a while, I’ve talked about it before, was just to say I had one really. to be in the the in-crowd? Who knows.
I will admit I don’t send a ton of time surfing the site, but it saddens me to see what’s going on. From what I see so much of it seems to be all all-out advertising spam fest. So many of the walls I see on people profiles is one ad after another, they don’t even try to hide it.
I even deleted a “friend” today (think he added me originally) because I saw he was spamming walls with ads. Many would say I am doing it wrong, but I do not want a list of friends just to say have all these friends. I am not going to help contribute to the decline of a social network by being “friends” with some one who does.
It doesn’t help when others are letting it happen. Do few realize there is a delete link on each wall entry?
Does no one see a similarity coming here? Maybe a place called MySpace?
Then again, maybe I’m jumping the gun. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a, I told You So, moment in the near future. Not that I want it to, but it seems as though it’s already in the works.

I constantly get friend requests from people I’ve never heard of.
Pretty annoying. Especially when you see they have 500+ “friends”.

I agree, that’s my pet peeve with Facebook. Wouldn’t be so bad if these people really wanted to be your friend (some do I am sure), but all I get from some of my “friends” is, join my event, or my group and it’s only to push their products.
Obviously I sell stuff to, so I an not against marketing, just the way so people go about it. I know of two, that constantly hit me to products. That gets old fast…:(
Course I’ve been thinking I might just take advantage of the situation.
