I’ve had a Facebook profile for s a while, I’ve talked about it before, was just to say I had one really. to be in the the in-crowd? Who knows.

I will admit I don’t send a ton of time surfing the site, but it saddens me to see what’s going on. From what I see so much of it seems to be all all-out advertising spam fest. So many of the walls I see on people profiles is one ad after another, they don’t even try to hide it.

I even deleted a “friend” today (think he added me originally) because I saw he was spamming walls with ads. Many would say I am doing it wrong, but I do not want a list of friends just to say have all these friends. I am not going to help contribute to the decline of a social network by being “friends” with some one who does.

It doesn’t help when others are letting it happen. Do few realize there is a delete link on each wall entry?

Does no one see a similarity coming here? Maybe a place called MySpace?

Then again, maybe I’m jumping the gun. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a, I told You So, moment in the near future. Not that I want it to, but it seems as though it’s already in the works.

Okay, while I’ve had a facebook account/profile for some time, I never put much into to, actually very little. Guess I had one just to have it.

Come to find out, Internet Marketers are really eating it up. Not hard to see why, as you it is a much better marketing tool compared to say, Myspace.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Facebook become more popular than Myspace. They are not very far behind, Alexa lists them as the 8th largest site, just behind number 6 ranked Myspace.

It’s a marketers dream because you can, well actually market your business. You can add your blog feeds, form groups, add friends, list your websites and most importantly make contacts. You could even gather more Twitter followers by adding the app to your profile.

So what are you waiting for? At the very least get an account just to check out how marketers are using it to increase their business.

While your there, stop by my profile: Ron Killian and add yourself as a friend or just leave a message on the wall.
