I lived without facebook for almost a year before re-opening my account last month when an old flame wanted to add me. To borrow from the Godfather, “Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in!”

It’s funny, though. I didn’t miss it at all. But I suppose in this day and age it’s as crazy as trying to live without a mobile phone — despite the fact we were all doing very well without them until a decade ago.

Ah well. I’ve still never “liked” anything or added an application. And I’ve no intention of starting.

In all of the articles I’ve read on this topic, yours has actually inspired me to consider deleting my facebook account. Sure, others have brought he thought to my mind, but you’ve actually connected with me in such a way to encourage the act as beneficial to my productivity on the web. Gives me a new direction to move with my media projects. Thanks

Great post and I agree. I think what businesses don’t understand is that it is called ‘social’ for a reason. Social media should be about conversations WITH your customers in a genuine way, not just spamming them and taking advantage of the relationship by being a ‘toxic friend’.

Give them worthwhile information, ask them questions, listen to their complaints and understand who your customers are and how you can serve them better. Otherwise they will pretty soon be hitting the ‘unlike’ button.

Thank you!

I just think we need to start looking at social media laterally — as a partnership, not as a sales tool. I’m glad other people feel that way too.

I’ve got a feeling it’s a battle we’ll win in the end.
