Comments on: I’m getting tired of FPAM http://www.marketingtechblog.com/2007/09/17/fpam/ conversation and resources on marketing, social media, development, and wordpress Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:33:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Duane Brown http://www.marketingtechblog.com/2007/09/17/fpam/#comment-57664 Duane Brown Thu, 20 Sep 2007 22:26:06 +0000 http://www.douglaskarr.com/2007/09/17/fpam/#comment-57664 A lot of helpful opinions in here. Also to the comment by Stephen. Facebook launched Flyers Pro on Monday, which is like Google Ad Words. Facebook won't be selling your information, but their system does read your profile and you'll see flyers based around what you put down on Facebook from advertiser. I don't think this is a bad thing. I think for most people it's learning how to use Facebook and tweak it to their taste. I've designed it so I only get information that I want, which has been what made Facebook so appealing from the start. If you don't like something change your settings. A lot of helpful opinions in here.

To me, a friend is someone that I know, that I have things in common with, and that we can both add value to each others lives. Perhaps what is needed is a 'grading' of friends? Some are allowed to get closer than others, while still others are just acquaintances that you see around the place from time to time! The ones that bug me are the 'friends' that try to sell me something everyday. I've begun to 'unfriend' them once they start that! I'm also sick of being bitten by vampires and werewolves, and am facing the dilemma of running out of my supply of silver bullets! What a lot of people don't realize is that adding applications means that their details are being spread further afield every time they add them!

But you can actually change the setting on what notifications Facebook sends you - Just look under Account > Notifications. You could uncheck all of the options and then you probably won't get as many e-mails ;) What you’re describing has recently been defined as bacn.
