FACEBOOK QUESTION

by Blase
4 replies
Hi,

Is there any good reason to let a bunch of
people that you don't know become your friend?

I read their profiles and I really don't
want to know them and as far as I can
tell I have nothing in common with them.

Some of them I REALLY don't have anything in
common with.

Thanks

    If you use Twitter as well, then when you twitter, say for instance "I just did a blog on blah blah" anyone of your friends on facebook will see it in their updates of their friends, if your blog subject title is appealing to them, they may click over to read it.

    It really depends on what you market and how you market it.

    Just deny the ones that you have nothing in common with and go and search out ones that interest you.

    But, also remember that one friend could have hundreds of other friends that you could become friends with and have the same interests.
    Check out the profile of the person that is requesting to be your friend first before approving or denying.

    You select who you want as a friend. I find it useful in some ways, such as a local writing society I belong. It allows members to contact one another and get updates on meetings and things.

    I like Twitter better as it seems to be more up class, but having said that I have only been on Twitter a few weeks whereas Facebook for a couple of years. Already have far more friends and interest from the former.

      Some companies (e.g. Threadless) who sell mainly to the 16-24 age group sign up their company as a Facebook member. I suppose this increases exposure, but I'm not sure what practical value this would have... :confused:
