122 Comments on I'm Bored with Facebook - But I don't want to be!
Let me know what you come up with, Brian!
I love AR as I just learned how to "hide" those friends posts that clutter my FB. Have a great day!
Jennifer...did you try joining one of the Facebook Suggestions groups available? Word is they really do read the posts on there.
I have everyone categorized by lists and definitely block any silly app. Really dislike the mafia stuff and the 'round of drinks'.
Either way, as we can see on Mike Mueller's post, Facebook is seriously enforcing the law.
Congrats on an awesome post...again.
Hi Jennifer, yes that is very important, good reminder, think twice before you post and make it interesting. I only accept invitations after I researched them a bit... Thanks for sharing
Interesting post and agree. I try to do 2 or 3 personal posts each day on FB and 3 posts weekly from AR to my FB. Going to go see what it takes to seperate my friends and Associates.
You can turn off and on most updates and spam on facebook.
Good point.. and I'm the first one to admit I'm guilty of this. I'll have to figure out a way to separate business from pleasure

Great post! I just went in and played around with my settings...I know...I know...just wasn't too much of a concern until the spam came drifing in!
Thanks!!
Jennifer with Facebook rolling into Twitter I could see that I only use Facebook or Twitter for business only,
Have a great week.
Jennifer... I just don't get where Facebook can really help me. It is very time consuming for me with Twitter, ActiveRain, Facebook, YouTube. I probably need to hire someone just to handle that stuff. Help.. What are you doing about it? Ken
Ken and others -
Maintaining a strong cross-marketing campaign on the internet is very important for your business.
There are also other sites that you should be working with. If they are probably set up with one another, they can work together to save time.
I recently added an article to my personal blog (not on AR) and there is a spreadsheet at the bottom you can use to see if it might be feasible to outsource (i am working on it being interactive with my site but not finished with the programming yet.)

Take a look and see if maybe your time is best spent elsewhere than on a social site. There are lots of options for you to get someone to help maintain your presence for you - make sure they REALLY know social networking/media and real estate.

PRACTICAL REAL ESTATE MARKETING
Ken - I tend to agree with you. While I started to enjoy Facebook again after this blog ran, I'm now bored with it again. Just too much stuff, most of which I'm not interested in. I don't think I'll ever be a social mediast!
What is the recommended personal to business ratio for fb posts? Something like 90:10. That seems about right to me.
Jennifer:
I'm stuck between Blip.fm and Facebook- I don't want to be. I need sleep, too.
My battery is depleted.
Great post Jennifer! But you know what...I love Facebook. It generates business especially when I DON'T discuss real estate and it helps me connect with friends and colleagues in away that I wouldn't be able to otherwise. I will add that as the number of my "friends" grows, I need to investigate the hide feature as some people are beyond SPAM! I have deleted friends and have no hesitation doing so if our friendship is about someone shoving whatever it is they're hawking down my throat as opposed to real interaction.
Two accounts is a very good idea. I started a business page which I have available to clients & prospects (which in turn posts to my twitter!) on the internet and on top of that I have my own personal account I use for connecting with friends. Social networking is where it is at!
I absolutely hate facebook. I think it is one of the crappiest web applications to ever come along and was completely shocked to see it become as successful as it did. I can't wait for the next app to come along and make it a thing of the past. It is crap.
I agree and I am sometimes so challenged with the time to learn new media I did not know how to stop all the updates that clog my page. Thank you Kim for that info.
I don't feel like I have time to do mafia wars, farmville, or constantly give out things to my contacts. I do want to see the new stuff as some of it is interesting but it gets lost in all the other stuff.
Whewwww, and I thought I was the only one in the United States that was getting soooo tired of hearing how many times my friends were going to the RR or that they turned on the Kitchen light Some on my list might as well be living in a glass house they update us so much, thank goodness for the "Hide" button.
