I use different social networks for different reasons as well, and people in my Facebook network still don't seem to get that Facebook is a personal place for me, too. Thanks for adding your comment!

Now, how much of that brand's image has been affected by that one person's bad behavior? I know in my own experience, that "brand" is tainted. Thanks, Angela.

I just wonder if there's more negative to positive when it comes to reaching out badly. Thanks for dropping by! Good point on blocking them from sending you stuff in the future.

This accentuates my decision to keep Facebook primarily personal (family, friends and a few key biz fan pages) and to use Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. for primarily business. It's a bit difficult sometimes but helps to keep my family from tuning out to biz stuff they don't understand, by the same token, keeping my business connections from tuning out to personal things they may not care about.

It's totally frustrating when other people are pushing ridiculous fan pages, quizzes, games, etc. Great post! I agree with you, Nick.

I also recently defriended someone who kept inviting me to be a fan of a business that I was not interested in whatsoever. I ignored the request at least five times before I finally removed the person as a friend. It was really annoying. Thanks for bringing attention to this issue. Great post as always Nick!

I often get page and cause invites from acquaintances on Facebook that are completely irrelevant to me. Often I either block the person from sending more invites or de-friend them if that isn't an option. And you're right; even if I do join I don't usually interact or care about the updates, which really is doing the company no good at all. Good post. Certainly had to be said. I agree.
