How NOT to Grow Your Base of Facebook Friends

I thought I was going to have great news for you today, and in a small way, I do. The good news is: in about a day and a half, I was able to grow my network of Facebook contacts up to 300. The bad news, and how I did it… you’ll have to watch the video.

Oops. Lesson learned, I guess, Andy.

A painful lesson indeed… One that will not have to be relearned…

Good to hear from you again Peter.

Oops…! :-) Not to worry Andy. Courageous video, I enjoyed hearing about your experience.

And I’m happy we’re friends on Facebook.

I’m new to Facebook, and have no idea what it’s all about, but it’s a lot of fun so far.

Looking forward to hearing more of your experiences.

Cheers

Angela

Thanks, Angela… My knees are a bit worn out from all the Mea Culpas I did today in response to about 4 or 5 bloggers taking me to task for my sin, but a lesson has been learned and only good things can come of it as far as I’m concerned.

I’m glad to have friends like YOU on Facebook, too.

Take care,

Andy
