You guys have to at least make an attempt to respect the Facebook community...

I already told you not to drag me into groups I don't join myself. Now I have to say don't be so free to give up information about your friends and family members to apps you think are useful. Maybe I don't share your opinion regarding a particular app's usefulness.

Stik.com is something a lot of real estate professionals use. I answer requests for recommendations from people I know and like but don't do it for myself. I found out today someone recommended me on that platform. How? Why? I didn't set up a profile for that and have no intention of bugging my social media peeps for recommendations.

I am annoyed because you guys are not paying attention to what I am telling you not to do. If you supposedly respect a person enough to friend and recommend them, then how about respect them enough not to give up their information, drag them into groups they did not join and plop them into apps they don't plan to maintain.

I don't do Four Square either... I do however play Mafia Wars (and will quite happily join your Mafia - LOL).

If I am going to use a self serving app the least you can do is let me select it on my own. Is that too much to ask?

I also want to pick my own groups.

I shouldn't have to un-group on a weekly basis.

You guys have to at least make an attempt to respect the Facebook community... I've liked hundreds of your links and embraced numerous causes but I can't like and embrace them all. Respect me for not wanting to.

C,

I have a zero tolerance policy about stuff like that. Unfriend is my friend.

Richard, LinkedIn works for me so I don't want to have to maintain a bunch of other spots trying to do the same thing.

You've hit on one thing that really annoys me about FaceBook.  I'd like to be able to install and try out apps without the damn thing spamming everyone I know.  :-(

Cher, that would be Heaven. It can complicate things. ;-)
