the really interesting thing that this person doesn’t realize, perhaps, is that w/one click you can/will ‘de-friend’ them and then, the permission based relationship is finito…they don’t exist anymore.

I’m not quick to un-friend but in the last two weeks i’ve had four or five “spammy” things in the inbox. It’s frustrating mostly because I didn’t see it coming and I approve pretty much everyone. Hate to go to a One Strike rule, but the busier I get the more of a necessity it becomes.

It’s examples like this that reinforce a perception of the industry as being full of cash grabbing opportunists with little social finesse. As a professional engineer I get grumpy when treated like a time share salesman – but I can understand business seeing this negative example as something of a norm. IT used to be full of cool clever people, now it seems to be full of wide-boys. I sometimes despair!

the fail thing? I think you will soon find yourself having to explain something to somebody, because if you know of a group of people intentionally plotting against online marketing and haven’t report it you are in big trouble

you better make another post and explain to us what the fail thing is because I want to know immediately

Sadly, this is the dominant perception of what it means to use social media for marketing. By the time attitudes change we’ll be up to, what? Web 3.0?

Thanks for writing this! I reserve my inbox for one-on-one conversations. To be honest, the first thing I do when i see a bulk message in my inbox is delete it. If it’s not addressed to me, I don’t even read it.

It seems like facebook has become a competition of who has more friends. I constantly get invites from people I don’t know “because I seem like a nice person”
Ughhhh
