Of course, I suspect there is a trade-off between finding your target market and shielding yourself. With friends like you and Bobbi Jo, though, I'm sure I'll find the happy balance. Cheers, Mitch Well, being brand new on FaceBook, I spent the first session just making sure my privacy settings won’t expose me to this type of “Fuschia Noise” (nice one, Bobbi Jo!)

Of course, I suspect there is a trade-off between finding your target market and shielding yourself.

With friends like you and Bobbi Jo, though, I’m sure I’ll find the happy balance.

Cheers,

I find it ever so frustrating when people e-mail ads to me. It turns me away from their product or service as oppose to attracting me to it. If this nuisance becomes a habit, I delete them from my friends list. Do these people really get any ROI for the time they put into being annoying? And yes, I can vouch for you being a super nice person! You have always gone above and beyond to help me when I get stuck, further my knowledge and understanding of web design and business management, along with encouraging and supporting me through all facets of owning my Virtual Assistance business. I really appreciate all you have done for me! Thank you. I agree. I find it ever so frustrating when people e-mail ads to me.

They can, in fact, PM a bunch of people at once. If you join a group, there are some group leaders who think that this means they should bury you in spam invites every few days - you can leave those groups though, no problem. Others are more polite about it, and keep it relevant and useful. I have notices from my apps turned off. They can holler all they want and I just won't even hear.

Reminds me of my Facebook rant earlier this fall. It's all become noise. Not soft, white noise, not even gray noise. More like LOUD, SCREAMIN' FUSCHIA noise, LOL! What? People can send you PM blasts? I didn't think people could do that. No one does that to me. Then again, I'm not linking to everyone around the universe, either. I say, trash some of the ever-popular applications (even the ones you think are useful...that's how folks are finding you--through them) and/or get a "page" at Facebook so that you can run it more like the big companies and celebs do... that way, people can only be "fans" and post to your wall and nothing else. They can't send you junk, you don't have to play games, be a pirate, and all that nonsense. Soon as I update my site, that's what I'm going to do. PS - Still had to register to post a comment. No biggie though, I guess. Hey this was funny! Reminds me of my Facebook rant earlier this fall. It’s all become noise. Not soft, white noise, not even gray noise.
