I have to rant for a few minutes about the whole Facebook - Friends You May Know feature. I can honestly say that out of the dozens of people that pop up in that little box, I’ve known 3 and only been inclined to add 1. Who are these people? Where do they come from? Why does Facebook think that I want to be friends with these strangers? I find it all very odd.
On a happier note – FlogBlog on my Facebook profile is finally updating after months of staleness, so I’m pretty excited about that. However, I just noticed that its not FlogBlog anymore. Now its Simplaris Blogcast. Who knows? At least its working.
Enough ranting. Have a great night!
I work with businesses on marketing strategy, tactics and social media tool selection. I help create effective ways to leverage social media to meet business and marketing goals while cultivating customer engagement. How can I help you?

How funny, I was just thinking this same thing today! I wish I could find friends from other social networks, not just via email. =)
Yeah, it does take some digging around to find everyone on the gazillion of networks that are out there. There has to be an easier way. FriendFeed is helpful but I find it overwhelming. I may just have not mastered the settings quite yet.
I think those strangers are friends of your friends. I’m often annoyed by that feature as well. I wish there were a way to turn it off!
Hey Beth… I thought I could shed some light on one of your comments!:) Simplaris is sponsoring the former Flog Blog to bring it back to life. As a developer of powerful web delivered small business tools that are easy to use, work properly and save time, we recognized the value of Flog Blog (now Simplaris Blogcast) and offered up our resources to support its operation. So, after a name change and a server move, it’s back up doing what it does best!
In a nutshell, Simplaris frees small businesses from the complexities of technology by making it just work. We’re working hard towards a launch in 2009. Feel free to check out our launch blog that just went live, providing updates on the progress and sneak peaks of the product at http://launch.simplaris.com
Hey Andrew – thanks for the clarification!
