Isn't it interesting that people think they can create an unflattering Facebook page, send it to all their "friends" and expect results. Success comes through research, hard work, and a little bit of common sense. This article tells how to do that. Wonderful!

But this might be a situation where the social [media] Darwinism works. Somebody does something stupid and annoying, they lose many of their best connections. Since it isn't easy to start anew at Facebook they will take a big long term hit. If only there was a way in email to make the jerks pay. Understand the frustration.

This is interruption marketing posing as permission marketing and will always be counter productive. Why not send invitations to people you KNOW will be interested and then let them invite the people they KNOW will be interested. Then you have a genuine fan club and will have something that can gain real traction for your client. They will thank you in the end. I also agree that this is often done with good intentions but it does display a little bit of misunderstanding about what good marketing really is in my opinion. Less spam please guys.
