So I’m being bombarded by requests for FaceBook, twitter, Linked-In, blip.fm…..’So what’ you say?  Well…(using twitter as an example) it seems that if I don’t get to those requests, the friend decides to stop following me.  If I do happen to get to the approval, I get DM’s saying to follow them on FriendFeed or FaceBook.

Personally, I like to wait a few days to make sure its not a bot.

Anyway…I’m seeing the ‘MySpace Friend’ disease spread all over established social sites.  I mean, Linked-In?  WTF?…Isn’t that supposed to be professional connections and references?

..so what the !@#$ is that supposed to mean?

FaceBook clobbered MySpace.  How?  By keeping it exclusive.  Sign in to view…Only add REAL friends…Only use real names….The safe feeling you got encouraged you to invite your friends, post pics, etc…

But, it seems that those days are over with people trying to become the next Tila Tequilla and try to get to 10,000 twitter followers or 10,000 FaceBook friends.  Twitter is already doomed, but Facebook has a chance if they start enforcing those rules that made them the leaders of the industry to begin with.

…..but keep your friend requests coming….I still approve them.
