I suspect your being a touch sarcastic...I dont get why people still think they have no power... There is no herd. I'm only as good as my last post - dont like it - boom - unsubscribe. That's how it should be. I like those rules.

I like the idea of four or five on a team.

I hate three's - but that might be just me!

I dont think the Warren will be eating us up...per se...but he is

I will be buying up websites and looking for opportunities

Hi Patrick,

Don't give up!

First up, well done for giving this a go. it's not easy to learn a
whole new skill at any age (Ask anyone who has heard my guitar
playing!).

My daughter is learning piano and we will often spend the whole week
on a single four note bar. Some weeks we just seem to be getting
nowhere.

But then something amazing happens, all of a sudden it clicks and what
was an extraordinarily tricky piece becomes a "piece of cake"

If you can keep that it when you seem to be getting nowhere you on the
path to success.

Stick out at, watch the lessons again and again, and most importantly
-- take action, keep trying and you'll get their.

Don't get me wrong. I still fully intend on making money from
Facebook - I'm just pretty sure trying to do it from my personal
account is not the answer. There are Facebook Pages, Groups,
Demographic PPC and applications.

The market is moving to Facebook - My guess is we need to move with
them. A KEY part of Understanding The Market is asking, why are they
going to Facebook?? Thats what I'm working on.

Hey Logan

I lived on MacFarland street until 2001!!! (Still own a house there
actually) and lattes are good
(actually best in the world in my view)

Actually this raises a point on a companion article - I think we
should all network more - but in the appropriate place - I attended a
meet-up in Melbourne before xmas - totally awesome and then Craig
Eubanks (who will still be a facebook friend!) organized an enormous
meetup in San Francisco which was totally cool - A lot of people go to
expensive conferences to do this (like me!) but simple meet-ups in
coffee shops is a superb way to go

Anne,

That is an excellent tip - but it's excruciating to do - If they had
that functionality when I got all my friends -would have that made my
experience any better?

And here is the other thing - and this will sound like an enormous
wing and that Im so up myself - but if you have a couple of hundred
people a day doing that - It would take at least an hour out of my
life to "categorize" people and then of course I would get behind and
miss people I actually am really keen to see what they are up to.
Outsource it - could do - but doesn't that miss the whole point (more
on this below)

Compare to twitter - I have to do ZERO work - people just follow AND I
can of course message them any time I want with out restriction - if i
sent out mail on facebook to a group with even a hundredth of the
frequency I tweet (or for that matter send mail out to my lists) my
account would be shut down with extreme prejudice. The other cool
thing - if people think I suck on twitter - BOOM! I'm out of there,
blocked of de-followed - no fuss, no muss - Facebook make it to hard
to unfriend and too easy for people to pull the spam trigger. People
will do what ever is easiest and if that's "Call Spam" they will do
it, the Facebook Ninja will hit and you'll be left with the smoking
ruin of an account.

Like I said in the article - With the current tool set I can't
dedicate the time to manage it. Outsource it I hear you say! That's
like outsourcing Twitter - I would never do that in a Million Years -
Twitter is smooth like butter allowing me to respond and get back to
people who need my attention - because I was smart enough not to go on
a "follow you follow me frenzy" (now there is an unpopular stance -
but I'll stick to it) I have very close to zero noise but thanks to
RSS Feeds and live twitter searchers (not to mention the modern
miracle that is friendfeed) I can manage it beautifully.

On Facebook for me, it's the pure magic of seeing my brothers goofy,
slightly drunk face half a world away obviously having a good time.
That to me is the magic of facebook and hard numbers man that I
am...the crowds don't lie... the market is moving to Facebook, and as
a proud card carrying member of the Marketing fraternity my job is to
come up with an ecological and engaging way to do said marketing.

This is a good point - I really did encourage this! I did encourage it
and I think, I was wrong.

That hurt.

I still think people can have a successful business marketing with
Facebook - I think you need to look at the right tools for the job.
