I haven’t had a chain letter yet but have noticed that some activists plant their cause totems in the ground and I feel like I need to twist around all their stuff to find them.  I’m all for standing up and speakng out, but not creating causes as a barrier.

I removed the fun wall application when I received a chain letter thingee.  Much nicer without it.I also have been unfriending people who invite me to too many things where you know they just invited everyone on their list.

Thanks for the Sphinn, Kim.  I only recently started to have these problems.  But, now that I started to get the chain messages they are coming more often.Yes, I think I will be removing the FunWall.  I’ve de-friended the person who sent it and will continue doing so if necessary..... I’ve also emailed Facebook about it.The odd thing is that I thought I was being very selective about who I friended back on Facebook.

I’ve pretty much given up on Facebook. My hobby site has a 1500+ member group there, so I’ll login once in a while to say hello and share some of our latest news, but too many friend requests to go through, application requests, pokes, etc. This reminds me that I’ve been meaning to write a post about FB.....

Ya despite how cool FB is for developers, I can’t ignore the fact that I don’t use it that much.  I’m not sold on it being an effective place for marketers... maybe it’s a good place to network and try to get people to go to meetups?  It’s certainly a fine place to waste time, but that’s not my goal!
