So the guy was spamming everyone with friend requests? Even more, he got warned by the system that he was spamming and he continued along? I tend to be anti FB, but I do agree that it's annoying to get so many invites from marketeers. Maybe the age difference explains this difference in attitude, but for me it's actually clear =/

Yeah - he's the sort of thing on facebook that makes me hate facebook. That he can't even see that spamming people is wrong is what's astonishing about this article. But it does really highlight perfectly the way facebook acts as the purest crossover between marketing and socialisng. Disturbing to say the least.

  Bullshit, he thought he was using the service the correct way. Anyway, he should get a twitter account instead. Twitter's about talking, Facebook is about harvesting your personal data and relationships for better marketing.

  He really doesn't understand Facebook. He also, I think, doesn't understand spam. He comes from a world where paper scarcity offsets the desire of marketers to send out advertisements. The idea that marketing is so easy that it needs to be regulated and avoided unless your targets initiate it is completely alien to him.
