I thought these were suggestions made by other people not the automatic "you know their friends so you must know them" method?
- CAJ, somewhere else
Yes, the "suggested by" gives it away. It's not the "you might also know…" automated recommendation. It says more about your friends than it does about Facebook.
- Mistletoe Glen
That was my understanding too. These are friends your friends suggest. Interesting circles you run in; I can't imagine a real person putting that rear shot as a profile pic on fb.
- Kenley Neufeld

sometimes I acidently end up accepting these as they feel just like actual friend requests. That bottom new friend might take some explaining to my wife. Facebook ought to consider letting users turn this feature off if they'd like. I know I'd turn it off.

4647 is alot Geoff. I hate all forms of email myself actually. It feel burdensome feeling that you have to respond to someone or risk offending them. I much prefer interacting with people directly in forums like FriendFeed or DMU on Flickr in public than one on one. Email should be reserved for things that really do need to be kept private.

- Tammy Marshall
Tamara: Use My Space? lol
- Geoff Jackson
Thomas: Yeah my Facebook is pretty hectic and I although I do read my messages on there, I can not keep up with them at the rate they come in. I rarely use email at all these days though unless it is to send files to someone. I just hope one day i will not have to find an old message on Facebook, haha
- Geoff Jackson
I am so with you. It's annoying. I spend the most time on Facebook x-ing out people I've never heard of that might be my friends. It gets better. Yesterday I got a notification - where my high priority Scrabble and Lexulous pings turn up - of some guy, never heard of him either, that had just joined FB and did I want to suggest friends. WTF?

I think a good practice is to consider unfollowing EVERYONE each year, then just add folks that are relevant. Why? people change, you may not wanted to have followed them, or you may want to reduce the noise. What do you think?

Allen, we do that too - add them to your Unfollow whitelist and we'll never, ever unfollow them.

I guess we just call it your "whitelist" - it's under your unfollowing preferences though.

Ideas like this that make me wonder if you really are a social media expert. How can you have a 2 way conversation with your audience, if you try and maintain a wall of exclusivity? It's good that you keep the people that matter to you close, but it wouldn't hurt to get a little dirty by getting to know a few more of your fans.
- Davis Freeberg
Davis, what's funny is that I see people on your side, and on the other side of the auto-follow debate all criticizing the other for calling themselves Social Media Experts. I don't think there is any right or wrong way to do it.
- Jesse Stay
I'm not a social media expert and I don't mean to be harsh, but this comment sounds very elitist from someone who has benefited so much from the kindness of others. A better way he could have phrased it would have been to say hello readers, I want to make sure that you're getting the most out of your lifeblogging experiences, so once a year do a gut check and unfollow me if you want. No hard feelings I promise..

good idea... need SocialToo to clean house!
- Susan Beebe
from BuddyFeed
First, there are free tools to unfollow, no need to pay. See the category for Follower Management on our site http://EverythingTwitter.com I don't mass unfollow, I use some of the other tools to look first for ones that haven't posted in a while. That is quick cleanup.
- Chris Miller
It's certainly a stunt people have pulled before, using SocialToo and other tools. If that is how you want to use Twitter, Twitter is, in the end, and a la carte service geared to the individual. I personally prefer a richer, more diverse, stream, myself. #stilllongsforall@sback I think it is overthinking your social media use in your particular case at your particular experience level,...

- MVB (Grinch of FF)
from iPod
Chris, the problem with those other tools is that they aren't sustainable. The Twitter API only allows a certain number of requests per IP, per hour, so as they get enough traffic, boom, now they don't work any more. Use them at will, sure, but keep in mind the minute any of them gets any attention they're going to go down due to the Twitter API limits. To keep one running you have to...

Holden, like your 'new' avatar. It looks new to me.
- Myrna
Jesse, I love SocialToo, don't get me wrong. But a lot of people don't follow that many (isn't the average small) that they would break the API limit that fast no? Just throwing out to search before paying to get what they need.
- Chris Miller
Chris, I think you'd be surprised. It's why we had to start charging for our features.
- Jesse Stay
I like the idea of changing who you follow but unfollowing everyone is going to far. I think trying to follow too few ppl is seen as a status symbol, but limits interaction w/ newbies, ppl who spark new interests, perspectives you otherwise ignore - defeats the purpose of using social media to discover new relationships and collaboration. But JUST TRY unfollowing everyone, and see how much you depend on certain ppl to pipe up when you need it most, etc....
- Liza
I think it's a good strategy. Maybe there are other good strategies, but this definitely is a good one. I think our minds work so strange that the one's answer to the question to "will I unfollow him?" when following not always be yes, when the answer to "will I follow him" while not following would be no. It's harder to deliberately unfollow someone then not starting to follow someone you don't follow (but might remember having followed in the past). Rigorously unfollowing all helps deal with this bias.

Davis. Didn't mean to sound like a jerk, so sorry if I did. My information habits and diet have changed, so I need to change my inputs.

I even started with a new username, without any follower, and completely new discussions :)

I'm not sure I'd go so far as to unfollow everyone, but I think your basic idea is a good one, Jeremiah. My approach is more like managing an investment portfolio, periodically reviewing individual assets and their return, remixing to maximize overall benefit.

Do you have to follow someone on Twitter AND Friendfeed? Is there some sort of twitterquette about that?

IPhone 3.0 is Coming Tomorrow: Here is What You Can Expect - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
Geoff Jackson, andy brudtkuhl, JimsMarketingBlog and 2 other people liked this
"When Apple announced the new 3.0 version of its iPhone operating system last week, the company focused on a number of major addition to the phone's bag of tricks: cut, copy, and paste; push notifications; new features for Safari; MMS; the ability to use the keyboard in landscape mode in Apple's apps like Mail, Notes, and Messages; as well as the new Spotlight search. All of these are important updates, but Apple also made a number of smaller updates to the firmware that it didn't stress at WWDC, including better scrubbing controls in the iPod app, new features for playing back podcasts, the ability to sign in to YouTube to sync bookmarks and easily find and play your own videos."

Mike: you can't. I have an account that I haven't gotten one yet on.

if you locked one in, Mike, then when you go to pick, it will show your name instead of choices.

firstname.lastname is a respectable username i think, especially if one or the other is not available

There are 11 people with the name Robert Freeze on Facebook - I wanted to make sure I got mine the way I have all the other pages

Robert Freeze, I don't think record threads are created, I think they happen. Lots of people try to get one going, whereas Scoble just has the dynamics going at this point in time, and I think he'd agree.
- Gary Etie
Did you notice that somebody got http://www.facebook.com/friendf... - and it's not this website!
- Paul Holmes
Drat. Someone took awesomer
- Joi Ito
hmm, probably friendfeed could file 4 infringement @paulholmes 2 facebook if its not legimate
- polou/indigo_bow
Paul - that's interesting - why would they?
- Robert Freeze
Robert, because they can )register it, that is, not keep it, when friendfeed comes a callin'
- Gary Etie
polou: friendfeed is a trademark, so they will lose that user name if friendfeed cares.
- Robert Scoble
It could be they legitimately hadn't heard of this, and figured it sounded good.
- Paul Holmes
I'm sure somebody at FriendFeed will fill out the form at http://www.facebook.com/copyrig... and /friendfeed will point to the FF<->FB app within a week.

How hard could it have been to prevent creation of trademarked names, without verification from the trademark holder? Easier than it's going to be to straighten out the mess. It's got to be part of the planned hype, with built-in controversy, and ongoing coverage.

So, it has been established, both "."s and "-"s (dots and dashes?) are ignored at Facebook. At Gmail, ".", dots are ignored, "-", dashes are not. At both FB and Gmail, g.a.r.y.e.t.i.e = garyetie = gary.etie. but ≠ g-a-r-y-e-t-i-e, or gary-etie, for Gmail.

Wow. So I can't be online Saturday morning at midnight to score my Facebook username given that I observe the Jewish Sabbath (I'm never online then). I had a friend "volunteer" to get it for me. Only after 12 email exchanges does he tell me that he has an hourly rate and that I'd be charged 2 hour minimum. This is a "friend." I have no words.

What Akiva said. And you're definitely not supposed to make a "profit" on Shabbat either. He was planning on having a colleague of his (not Jewish) do it, which would put me in the clear. But to charge me for that? C'mon.

I've recently heard Google changed their algorithm, plus with aggregating sites indexing for us (FriendFeed, Facebook, Twitter), there are many outlets and methods of people reaching our media -- that is, if we remember to segregate to keep various audiences interested. ie: staying away from ping.fm like services.

"Does anyone have a good checklist?" We wrote an SEO beginner's guide at http://googlewebmastercentral.... that I proofread before it went live. You can also do searches like [wordpress seo guide] and there are several good resources in the search results.
- Matt Cutts
Mona, Yes. something like 90% of all traffic starts with a search engine, so unless you are a destination site ,you rely on search to send your traffice. There are times when RSS Subs can be more valuable, like when you are doing loyalty building, but generally NEW users are finding you through a social media or through search. More people are in search than social media..Ergo its still relevant

Aanarav, I would recommend some caution regarding Digital Point. Some of the more aggressive stuff that gets pitched in corners of DP can get you in trouble.

This post and more importanly the timeline of the replies are in and of themselves useful as a measure of which SEO/SEOm firms are paying attention online. Not that this is an automatic measure of capability or quality, but you gotta question how good any site is that doesn't link drop on this particular post, be it a self drop or otherwise, given who the author was/is. I*'m, amazed there haven't been more. This might be tell us a thing or two about FF and the SEO community.

Eric, thanks for your offerings. I think that maybe the lack of SEO people here may be down to the fact that we are all working hard implementing all these techniques for our clients. There are plenty of SEO companies who merely do the work, rather than write down what they are doing and share with the rest. http://dragonsearchmarketing.com/blog... , the shop I work at part time is running really hard right now, with 3 new hires in the last 2 months.

As to the reflection on the Ff community, perhaps that is because FF is bleeding edge and most work in the trenches of SEO is being done short of the bleeding edge, where there are more "regular" folks.
